Remarks by Jack McKillop: "This aircraft was built as a C-54B-10-DO and was delivered to the USAAF as 43-17156 on August 25, 1944. After WW II, the aircraft was sold to Northwest Orient Airlines of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, and placed in service registered N95414. It was subsequently sold to Flying Tiger Line of Burbank, California, USA, who leased it to Ariana Afghan Airlines of Kabul, Afghanistan, and they re-registered it as YA-BAJ. When the lease was up, the aircraft was returned to Flying Tiger and was re-registered N95414. In 1957, the aircraft was sold to Pacific Western Airlines of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and was re-registered CF-PWA. It was subsequently sold to three Canadian operators, (1) Transair of Winnipeg, Manitoba, who re-registered it CF-TAM; (2) Kenting Aviation of Ottawa, Ontario, who re-registered it CF-KAD; and (3) Worldways Canada of Toronto, Ontario. Worldways sold it to an Onyx Aviation of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA who re-registered it N32DR and the aircraft was eventually withdrawn from use at McAllen, Texas, USA." |
