1 more to add! The plane that help started the airline and is shown allot in the reality TV Doco series "Ice Pilots NWT". In fact the plane is nick named "Buffalo Joe" after the owner Joe McDonald and has had a long history of ownership including the USAAF/USAF and as a converted passenger and freighter for reformed Deutsche Lufthansa in the 1950's then to 2 more owners before joining its current owner in the early-mid 1970s. In addition it is a 3 bladed prop and not a 4 bladed prop Curtiss C-46 unlike the early original build C-46s and many of them are fitted with either 3 or 4 bladed propellers.
Just let you guys know i be starting on the B.A.C 1-11 series shortly.
