Built as 44-77109 this C-47 was transferred days after delivery to the Royal Air Force as KP224 in June 1945. Taken over by the Royal Canadian Air Force in April 1947, the aircraft was re-serialed 12905 in 1970. It remained in Military service until 1977 when it was sold as surplus, becoming C-GSCM with Skycraft Air Transport. Pictured on lease to Air BC (1981 - 1983) just before returning to Skycraft, it went to the USA as N364AB in 1995. Donated to the Commemorative Air Force in late 2019, it has been undergoing refurbishment to replace C-47 "Bluebonnet Belle" lost in 2018.
