    At least two of the aircraft in the photo above are still in operation with Buffalo Airways.

    The Dakota (C-47/DC-3) closest to the camera, RCAF KG-713 (12946), is currently owned and operated by Buffalo Airways as C-GJKM (c/n 13580).

    That's really something! These things were clearly made to last.

    Despite a rough off-airport landing in 2019 with damage initially seen as beyond-repair, as of June 2023 C-GJKM is undergoing restoration, as documented at www.oldjets.net/red-deer---buffalo-airways.html

    Built to last, get banged up, fixed, and last some more.

    Amazing!
