Photo Comment

Ontario Central Airlines began as a charter airline connecting the wilderness of Ontario with the rest of Canada. Growing from two used Fairchild 82 float planes to a scheduled airline with DC-3s among the other bush aircraft like the Noorduyn Norseman and De Havilland Otters. Merging with Ilford Riverton Airways in 1991, the airline was eventually re-named Air Manitoba. This DC-3 was in the fleet between 1974 to 1993.
