Unhappy

Buffalo Airways based in northern Alberta someplace operates three or four DC-3s two DC-4s and a C-46 on regular freight service in the Arctic, as well as a flock of PBY5As as water bombers during the fire season. There are six or seven DC-4 and DC-6s in airworthy condition parked in the weeds at CYQB. They belong to a company called Conifair, who also used to own the Connie that now flies in either the MATS or the SAC colours. A good friend ferried this aircraft from CYYY to KFLL after John Travolta bought it. He had a runaway prop on number four. Told me he became an instant Christian.
