Douglas DC-3, CF-CRX joined the fleet of Harrison Airways in Oct. 1974 after a 28-year career with Canadian Pacific Airlines since July 1946. The DC-3 was repainted in this blue and white colour scheme in 1974-1975 and named "Tweedsmuir". Harrison flew DC-3s to Burns Lake & Dease Lake in support of a 663 km railway project linking Fort St. James to Dease Lake, but the railway was cancelled in April 1977 which hurt business. Futura Airlines bought the charter licences in 1979. The Harrison hangar was first built to flight test wartime RCAF aircraft overhauled by Boeing and Canadian Pacific.

C-47A 42-100813 passed through the Reconstruction Finance Corp (RFC) in 1945. Registered NC51793, it would be bought by Canadian Pacific Airlines July 23, 1946 and registered CF-CRX. It would be the airline's last piston airliner, in later years being used for pilot training and special events until sold October 23, 1974. Here with Harrison Airways, but still in basic CP Air colors. Later christened "Tweedsmuir", it went to Futura Aviation in 1979 before exported to the USA. As N950HA, it's been withdrawn from use since 1985, presumed scrapped when the registration was cancelled in 2011.
