Good guess and you are right I was wondering if anyone on here would pick up on the DC-3 / DC-4 thing. Or you noticed our crappy highrise to the left of the planes wing

Nice pic of the orange & green CL-215. There is a yellow one here just sitting waiting to be repaired. Whole bunch of DC-4's sitting around too. Coarse they are all Buffalo Airways planes that are awaiting their time to be put into use.

lol not many options for "small airports" up there.

not much in the way of piston pounders here in Goose Bay... but sometimes there's some brave souls stopping in for a quick sip before heading to Keflavik and points beyond.

Today was a good day! A KLM 747-400... this is my fave shot of the few I got of this bird.

A USAF Learjet... I didn't know that they used these? Pretty cool either way.
