Active DC-3s in Canada

[badmash]

I am planning to click the DC-3s active in Canada and was wondering where are they based out of -
A few that I know off the top of my head are - One at YYC, a few at Pickle Lake and a C-47 at Gimli.....

Which others can you guys think of ?

Interesting...Looks like Joe (Buffalo) moved 2 of his D3`s to his other company name - Hay River Air Services. 8 Planes registered to it in 2016.

I remember seeing on at Calgary in ALCI colors! The registration seems to be C-GE**

Attached is a picture I clicked.

There's one at CYOO.

Either of the two Basler turbine DC-3's which might be seen at CYOO are Bell Geo's: C-FTGI and C-FTGX. The ALCI planes are: C-FEAI and C-FEAJ, though they serve different clients at different times. C-GAWI, and C-GHGF are AWI's for polar research ("Polar 5" and "Polar 6" respectively), and transit Canada from time to time. Kenn Borek has a few, and there is at least one other in Canada I'm aware of.

You'll see a few of my photos of Polar 5 in this thread:

Anyplace to possibly get schedules for these DC-3s flying? Also , is there anything at Pickle Lake? Was wondering if i could click a few!

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has two airworthy examples. C-GDAK, an actual DC-3 with Wright Cyclone engines, and C-GRSB, a C-47 that took part in the D-Day invasion.

When do they fly?

By C-FEAI and C-FEAJ I am sure you meant to write C-GEAI (with Borek) and C-GEAJ wich is the one pictured by "badmash" above.

I have seen it land in Catalina when I flew there. You do not want an overrun there.
