Hi everyone,

having been given an assignment where I have to compare 2 reasonably closely based airlines with similar fleets, I thought I'd be a clever dick and compare Buffalo Airways with another DC3 operator. This came unstuck as I realised that they seem to be the only airline left that still fly them.
Are there any other airlines in Canada or the top few states in America that still fly DC3s?

Thanks

Matt

If there is, these guys might be able to point you in the right direction:

Colombia, as in South America too far away? Anyway cool video:

Good luck

I believe Kenn Borek has a Basler conversion.
Here's a link to worldwide Basler operators:

There was one other operator in Quebec, Air Boreal I think he called himself, but I just had word his airplane, CF-QBC, was sold to Buffalo Joe.

Might not be able to help with the DC3's but I believe Buffalo and Everts both operate the Curtiss C-46. Buffalo Airways in the NWT and Everts Air in Alaska.

Hope that helps
