Firing up and raring to go !! A puff of smoke from the exhausts heralds imminent departure. About to taxi out from its parking spot in the area behind Buffalo's hangar at Yellowknife Airport. In September 2015, suffered engine failure en route to Norman Wells. Unable to maintain altitude, a forced landing had to be made - intentionally wheels up - on the short gravel airstrip at Déline in very poor weather conditions. The aircraft considerably overran the runway. The crew evacuated safely, but the aircraft was written off.

Approaching over a fortified beach on Kinmen (Quemoy). Shelling of this island by PRC artillery on the mainland started on 23 August 1958. According to online sources the island's old airfield on the west side closed that day, to be replaced by the current Shangyi airport (RCBS) at an unspecified date. Details about the airframe unknown - it seems to wear a FY 42 serial with six sequential digits but it cannot be deciphered. Photo by: John Dominis / Life

With an orange Buffalo logo on its fin, catching the early morning sun outside the Buffalo Airways hangar at Yellowknife Airport. Later sustained substantial damage , in November 2012, due to a left main gear collapse on landing at Yellowknife. Then in September 2015 suffered engine failure some way short of its flight destination, Norman Wells. Unable to maintain altitude, a forced belly landing had to be made on the gravel airstrip at Déline in very poor weather conditions. The aircraft considerably overran the runway. The crew evacuated safely. The aircraft was a write-off.

Imported into Canada in 1987 as C-GTXW for Air Manitoba after post-military registration in Venezuela and Dominican Rep. Here it has just returned from time in Kenya on famine relief from 1994 on. After restoration as C-GTXW it was wrecked while with Buffalo Airways by being deliberately landed wheels-up at Déline/NT on 25 September 2015. (Bar River is the last place anyone would expect to find a Kenyan registered C-46.)
