A Kaman Husky?

That one would be a Boeing Chinook (CH-47). I did, however, throw a Kaman Huskie up earlier in the thread for everyone.

I haven't a clue. I thought it was a chinook. Someone else can chime in of course

A few DC-3s

Kenn Borek Air. Photographed in Inuvik (YEV) in the Northwest Territories. Built in 1942. Currently working in Antarctica.

Buffalo Air. Photographed in Yellowknife (YZF), Northwest Territories. 1942 build. A couple of years after this (August 2013) it was written off after a non-fatal crash landing just after takeoff from YZF. Engine failure and overloaded. Person on Airhistory.net writes, "Her career started as USAAF 42-23509 in 1943, then Czechoslovak government as OK-VAV and French air force, including combat duty again, as 23509. Went civil as F-WSGY and eventually, in 1975, became C-GWIR. Smoke jumper platform as well as combined passenger-freighter aircraft with Buffalo."

Canadian Pacific Airways, at Whitehorse (YXY), Yukon. This one flying in blankets to stay warm in a northern Canadian winter. (Or how about, I 'shopped a sky around the one featured in this story:
DC-3 Yarn Bomb, Whitehorse, YT — Northern Front Studio )
