The arrival of Odyssey 86 in Winnipeg, August 7, 1986, as it nears the end of its around the wold tour.

Preserved airworthy wearing its correct BuAer number and the markings of the Naval Air Transport Service.

Operated by Academy Airlines in this special 'Animal Crackers' livery. It went to Florida Air Cargo in Sep 98. Sadly it was damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Charley at Punta Gorda FL on 13 Aug 2004. Transported by ground to Shell Creek in Dec 2007.

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of 435 Squadron, the Canadian Forces unveiled this C-47, serial 12949, in the colours used by 435 Sqn during the Burma Campaign. The serial KG788 is fake, this aircraft actually was KJ956 (later 12949). The unveiling took place on May 24, 2014 in hangar 16 at 17 Wing in Winnipeg, and in mid September 2014 the aircraft was returned to its old spot next to the Stevenson Parade Square, as seen in this photo. RAF 435 and 436 Squadrons were based in India during the Burma Campaign beginning in 1944, and were critical to getting supplies to difficult areas due to terrain, weather and lack of transportation infrastructure.
