The 1980s were still a time of big radial engines in Winnipeg. Local carriers like Ilford Riverton / Air Manitoba and Aero Trades Western had DC-3s, DC-4s, C-46s and a PBY kept busy flying north. CF-FNC was acquired by Ilford Riverton in 1982 and sold by Air Manitoba in 1990. It returned to Alaska with Everts Air Fuel as N1837M where it is still current at the time of uploading.
