Nice photo Chris. The plane shines with its new skin!
A colleague of mine Bev Barry was a navigator on the delivery then went off to Orions, I have asked him if he is in photo.
I also notice this on Wiki about the DHC-5 Buffalo:
Quote:
New production
In December 2008 Viking Air, who hold the type certificate for the Buffalo, indicated that they intend to put the aircraft back into production at their factory in Victoria, British Columbia or Calgary, Alberta. The new production Buffalo will feature Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150 engines, a glass cockpit, enhanced vision and night vision goggle capability. The company intends to propose the aircraft as a replacement for the Canadian Forces fleet of existing DHC-5As

Does anyone know if this is a goer? Maybe the most suitable replacement for us too?
