[aharon]

Shalom and greetings all,

Famous Buffalo Joe has decided to have his airline start new jet era with purchase of Boeing 737-300F which will be used mainly on cargo hauling run between Edmonton and Yellowknife as well as taking over the cargo routes usually flown by his airline's C-46 Commandos.

Presenting future recreation of the planned Buffalo Airways 737-300F cargo route from CYEG Edmonton International Airport located 14 nautical miles south southwest of downtown Edmonton to CYZF Yellowknife Airport located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories which is main home of Buffalo Airways

Very nice! Yep, Buffalo now has a B737. It can carry more than a DC-4, DC-4, or C-46 and uses Jet-A, not 100LL AvGas. I expect another consideration is spare parts. The old piston powered aircraft have been out of production for a very long time, the spare parts supplies are dwindling.

Very nicely displayed Aharon.

Looks nice, thanks.

For those who are confused by Aharon posting this in the Chat forum, I suggested that the Screen Shot Forum should be limited to propliners so he should post jet shots here. Thanks!

Stansdds, NMLW, and Tom,

Thanks for your kind words.
