This C-54 served as US Navy R5D-4R Bu90407 from 1945 until 1971. After storage at MASDC it went through many owners, as N67038 since 1975 and as N51848 since 1978. It was first seen at the museum in Feb 1992. In early 1998 it was restored in these Military Air Transport Service (MATS) markings, with "US Navy" and "Pacific Division" titles and its authentic serial 90407 on the tail. The Military Air Transport Service was formed in 1948 out of the US Navy's Naval Air Transport Service (NATS) and the USAF's Air Transport Command (ATC). It was discontinued in 1966.

If only I had known they would manage to get this beauty ready for a ferry flight across the lake that same evening. She departed to Yellowknife some five hours after I left. With 27,673 hours on the clock, she was put up for sale after the 2015 fire season and still is in 2020.

Tail art to underscore the environmental task as a fire bomber, for which she was being readied once more. The text says "Mountain Aven Protecting N.W.T. Beauty".

The pride taken by 'Buffalo Joe' and his company in the operation of this propliner is evident from the nose art. The "First around the World" logo was adopted by the Douglas Aircraft Company after a group of Douglas World Cruisers had successfully circumnavigated the globe - in 1924.

Fitting to the low construction number, this veteran has accumulated more than 70,000 flying hours as a military and civil transport. She has been moving troops, passengers and all sorts of cargo over deserts, arctic and everything in between. At the time of uploading, Buffalo's former fleet number 1 remains for sale.

A somewhat closer look at C-FBAM, still in NASA colours and with Aero Union logo. The weight of only the number 1 engine is not sufficient to keep it from resting on its tail.
