Buffalo Airways DC-4

Post by Bill_A_Bong »

Looks like some old iron working for a living in the Great White North. Not sure if this ship is still around or not.

Thats the bird that had the fire up in Norman Smells NWT. Just about burnt the wing off in flight. Last rumor I heard out of the crew at Buffalo is that the cockpit section of this plane would be removed to be attached to PSH so they could salvage it. PSH has a ton of history behind it including being a part of the berlin airlift. I would imagine we'll see PSH airborne again this spring and XKN out in the boneyard for parts.

That would be XKN, she is gone. And that is Goose Lake, NU a mining camp south of Bathurst Inlet. Some fun flying indeed.

Gotta give the director/editor/cameraman credit for not using any Top Gun tunes or U2-Beautiful day as the background music. Great vid!
