Built for USAAF in 1944 with serial 44-70270

Buffalo Joe's Norseman tied up at a dock on the Great Slave Lake in Yellowknife, Canada. With additional Diamond Jubilee "95" titles.

Under repair after a take-off accident April 3, 1981 which damaged the belly. This Norseman was first delivered to the USAAF October 13, 1943 as 43-5237. Sent to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on November 30, 1945 for disposal, it became N55555 flying many years in Alaska. After refurbishment (again) in 1992 it was donated to the Alaskaland Pioneer Air Museum, Fairbanks, Alaska where it remains on display.

Canadian Pacific Airline's newly-built Norseman VI poses for an official photograph in 1944. Unfortunately it crashed near Yellowknife, NWT about a year later. Obtained from the airline over 50 years ago.

What a cool aeroplane the Norseman is! The highlight for me of the Oostwold Airshow.

Sold in Canada as CF-ISM in 1973
