Our most commonly used DC-3 for our scheduled
freight service, C-GPNR entered active service on May 17, 1944. She
started out as a member of the Royal Air Force and flew in the
United Kingdom and Middle East until June 1946. At this point, the
aircraft came to Canada to fly for the Royal Canadian Air Force. In
October of 1980 Buffalo Airways received this pristine aircraft and
put her back to work in the NWT
