This aircraft was built as a transport plane for the United States Army Air Force. It was used as a passenger cargo carrier by Shell Oil from 1955 until 1969 when it was purchased by the Alberta Government. Alberta Air Transportation Services used the DC-3 for general duties and to fly forest fire-fighters and their supplies into remote northern areas. If you come to the museum have a look under this plane. There are a pair of 2,000 pound thrust rocket boosters on its belly.
