Initially imported for Aero Trades (Western) here at Winnipeg. Although still registered to Buffalo Airways in 2020, this aircraft was the one involved in the infamous crash landing at Hay River/NT on 19 August 2013 that resulted in Buffalo loosing their passenger operating certificate. Investigation revealed that aircraft loading was done on the "come-one-come-all basis" with little consideration of weight. This system worked until an engine caught fire after take-off and the aircraft was too heavy to stay airborne.

This aircraft is former USAAF C-47B 43-30726. It went to Turkey to serve with the Turkish Air Force Academy (Hava Harp Okulu) at Istanbul/Yeşilköy (hence the code YŞL). The aircraft is now preserved there, still in these markings.

This is a D-Day veteran that was also active over occupied Germany. It made a forced landing at Eindhoven in the already liberated part of the Netherlands in 1945 and, after the war had ended, remained in the Netherlands to be used by various airliners as PH-DAB. In 1965, the aircraft went to the Indonesian navy, until 1968. In that year it went back to civil aviation as PK-RDA.

This is a D-Day veteran (US serial 43-15094, glider towing mission on 7 June 1944 to Sainte-Mère-Église, Normandy) that entered service with the Finnish Air Force 1961. It later was converted to BT-67 (with turbo props) and became C-FMKB. In 2020, this aircraft was still being used to fly scientists back and forth across Antarctica.

The aircraft emergency landed here 20 Nov 1945 piloted by Robert L Fox. It was recovered later and repaired and became NC342 with the Civil Aviation Authority. But apparently the crew had left the aircraft and disappeared as there is a Missing Air Crew Report for this accident.
