Buffalo Airways spares airplane

Former Aviation Boreal aircraft still in that airline's colors. Acquired by Buffalo and later sold to Basler for their turboprop conversion program.

Owned by Buffalo Airways, but still with very small Transport Canada titles near the door.

Former First Nations Transportation (FNT) was made airworthy and sold to Basler for their turboprop conversion program.

Named "Mia" in very small print on the nose.

Nice to see the cockpit of this classic old aircraft. (Canon 40D 17mm)

A welcome surprise indeed! Pictured taxying out from the old RAF Turnhouse apron to rw24 for departure.

The Tower at Gatow has undoubtedly looked down on many C-47s over the years. This one had spent 32 years as a gate guard in front of the barracks at Gatow before being refurbished and placed on display to commemorate the Aussie participation in the Berlin Airlift. Based at RAAF Butterworth (Malaysia) from 23 Feb 1967 to 3 Jun 1980. Departed for West Germany 06 Jun 1980 and arrived there 11 days later. Placed on RAF registry as ZD215 for the final delivery flight to Gatow on 18 Jun 1980, because only British, US and French aircraft were allowed to pass through the Berlin air corridors up to 1989.

Seen parked without engines at Coventry. The aircraft carries the titling Pollution Control and MCA on the tail. The aircraft was operated by Air Atlantique.

At Flying Legends 2014. Painted in unusual Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings, which were only briefly carried in Norway between June 1945 and Feb 1946. This Squadron, unrelated to the RAF's own No.20 Squadron, was in fact a continuation of the German Air Force 20 Transportfliegergeschwader. The squadron, formally controlled by the RAF, was the first step in re-establishing civil aviation in Norway after the war, using several DC-3s and Lockheed L-18 Lodestars. In 1946 the DC-3s were transferred to DNL, Norway's main pre-war airline and one of the predecessors of SAS. Looking spotless and superb

Display complete and now taxiing back to Parking. (Canon 40D 55mm)

To USAAF as 42-68823 in June 1943. Transferred to Aero O/Y in 1948 as OH-LCG, then to the Finnish AF in 1969 as DO-9. It was sold to the USA and became N59NA on 30 May 1985. But that reg was soon cancelled and on 20 August 1985 N59NA was taken up by DC-3 c/n 9043, which still carries today. Meanwhile, this aircraft became LN-WND in July 1986, initially with Warbirds of Norway, which changed their name to Dakota Norway in 1989. It sometimes features in movies, for example painted as RAF KN452 in 1992 or as Egypt Air "EN-WND" in the 2008 movie "Olsenbanden Junior på rocker'n".

Delivered new to American Airlines in May 1940, serving until 1947. Operated by PBA from 1974. It retains the prewar right-hand door.

This is former Israeli Air Force C-47B 034, still showing those markings and the serial. It was ferried from Israel to the USA in August 2000 and soon stored here, with Comanche Air at Ephrata. A few years later it was restored for Lyon Air Museum at Santa Ana, CA, where it is now based in its original D-Day markings. It is ex 44-76791, delivered to the USAAF in April 1945.
