WWII Veteran 44-78630 took to civilian life with a flair. Among the airlines operating it were Flying Tigers, Cubana, Canadian Pacific, Pacific Western, Nordair and Fairbanks Air Service. Here it has recently arrived, Northcoast titles removed before delivery to Ilford Riverton Airways. Ultimately it was stripped and abandoned at Shamattawa, Manitoba after an accident in 1982. The registration was reused on another C-46 in 1987. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
