Douglas DC-3

     A DC-3 belonging to Norcanair. A good, safe and reliable aircraft, but Panarctic stopped using them in the mid '70's because of the difficulty with storing a different fuel for just this aircraft. The DC-3 burns gasoline while every other aircraft operating in the North burnt jet fuel.
