DC-3 Parked at Red Deer (Penhold)

Post by CF-YQG »

Does anyone have any information on who owns the DC-3s parked at Penhold? I worked on one for many years and would love to get some photos.

Buffalo Airways have a parts/aircraft storage facility in Red Deer - so that would be their aircraft.

Shouldn't be an issue getting photos.

It wouldn't be CF-YQG would it?

It's been a few years since I wandered the ramp at Penhold. They've increased security since then, requiring someone to escort you around.

Not when I was there last year.

This is CF-YQG in the early 70's when I worked on it. It had chrome props and spinners. Weather radar, large chairs and couches with a bar. It had P&W 1830-94 engines, which we replaced with -92's. Wheel pants on landing gear. She was a beauty I tell ya"""

Badmash, in the first picture C-FDTB is an old Transport Canada DC-3 that was once stationed in Winnipeg. In the second picture I see C-FFAY, this bird was once owned by Perimeter Aviation in Winnipeg and was sold to Dave Knox of Red Lake. I did a lot of maintenance on this plane in Red Lake 20 some years ago. Very sad to see these great planes in the junkyard.
