Built as for the USAAF as C-46F 44-78565. Sold to Slick Airways as N67939 in 1948, Connor Airlines as N1837M in 1950 and Wien Alaska in 1955. Bought by Carl Everts in 1968 and moved Canada in 1973 as CF-FNC, initially with with Reindeer Air Services and later with Ken Borek, Lambair, Ilford Riverton Airways and Northland Air Manitoba. Returned to Alaska as N1837M with Everts Air Fuel in 1990 and stored before restoration to fly in 1992. Crashed and sustained substantial damage in 2013 but such is the value of the C-46 to Everts that the aircraft was rebuilt to fly again by early 2017.
