Description
Buffalo Airways purchased this DHC6-300 Twin Otter February 1, 2021 from Adlair Aviation. It is actually a DHC6-200 but this is the closest aircraft available.
Built in Canada in 1969. Why would you expect any other possible year? It has a maximum take off weight ot 5,252 Kg (that's 11,578 lbs.). It is powered by twin Pratt & Whittney Canada PT6A-27 engines.
Originally registered as N603M - First flight February 5, 1969. Sun Airlines of St. Louis, MO apparently attempted to purchase the plane that month but it was not taken up. February 20, 1969, she was delivered to MAC-Miami Aviation Corporation. March 24, 1969 she was delivered to Sun Airlines of St. Louis, MO and registered as N915SA. Sun Airlines filed for bankruptcy June 13, 1969 and our lovely little plane went off to Allegheny Leasing & Financial Corp., Pittsburgh, PA. She was leased to Interior Airways of Fairbanks, AK that same month and was returned to Allegheny Leasing in June, 1971. Leased out that same month to Crown Airways of DuBois, PA who changed names to Lyons Holdings Inc., of Cranflord, NJ and registration transfered October 15, 1985. Her disposition is unclear for the next 11 months, but she was sold to Pal Air Internation of Dubuque, IA January 12, 1987. She was leased out to Resort Commuter Airlines in Santa Ana, CA that same month. She was returned to Pal Air International in July, 1988 and her title was transfered to Pace Aviation in Winnipe, MB July 29, 1988. Her registration was changed at that time to C-GFYN. August 23, 1988 she was registered to Adlair Aviation of Cambridge Bay, NU and was given the name of a local chief, Moses Panegyuk in honor of his service to the community. February 1, 2021 Buffalo Airways acquired her.
February 22, 2022 - Update: Included the Wheels Pax variant in Pack form with the Wheel Cargo variant. Upgraded the cockpit to give it a more "Buffalo" feel for both variants.
March 20, 2022 - Update: Corrected the Buffalo position in the right side Buffalo name to meet Buffalo Airways standard of always having the buffalo face forward.
If you have already downloaded the Wheel Cargo livery be sure to delete it from your community folder prior to installing this pack. The two will interfere with each other and could cause CTD.
Download the .rar file to a location of your choice. Extract the folder and paste it into your community folder.

Really? One star rating because you are having trouble with installing the livery. I have just finished a multi-leg tour with this aircraft in this livery. Zero issues.
Maybe explain your problem with a little more detail so I can help you figure it out.

Buffalo Airways C-GPNR DC-3 With IRL cockpit textures and IRL airspeed knot gauge instead of M.P.H
C-GPNR one of Buffalo Airways DC3 originally a C47 converted for passenger use and is used often on a flight called the sked between Yellowknife and Hayriver and many other passenger routes operated by Buffalo airways. This livery is currently in Pax GPS config however will include a non GPS Pax variant when I have more time away from college. Otherwise enjoy this beautiful bird with 99% accuracy and custom PBR and custom cockpit textures to match the IRL aircraft as close as possible.
