This DC-3 is one of ten operated by Buffalo Airways, used to carry passengers and cargo. It wears a non-standard company livery. Some of the more recently-acquired Dakotas were painted in this scheme, though it is not planned to apply it across the whole fleet. The engine cowling has been removed as the aircraft had just emerged following maintenance and was about to undergo an engine test.

Buffalo Airways’ fleet includes nine Douglas C-54s (DC-4s), four of which are currently in service. The operator is a lifeline to many communities in remote locations in Canada's Northwest Territories. This C-54 has a belly tank signifying that it can be used as a fire-bomber. The aircraft, C-FIQM, is pictured against a beautiful backdrop at Norman Wells.

Five PBY-5 Cansos were used for fire-fighting duties, though four have since been sold. This example, C-FUAW, is the last one still with the company though it is in store pending sale to a new owner.
