CF-ATZ flew from 1933 to 1949, then crashed on Lake
Aristofats, NWT (with the death of the pilot and one
passenger; three other passengers survived). The wreck
was recovered in 1980 and restored.

It would feel kinda odd to fly a plane that
someone else died in.

Lots of bomber crews have done it.

I'm not sure if this aircraft was restored to flight, or if it was
put in the museum (the web site belongs to the Alberta
Aviation Museum in Edmonton).

I just received this e-mail from John Stephens at bushplane.com:

"The aircraft in the photo was actually a Fairchild 91C. This aircraft

sold to Territorial Air Service in 1941. It crashed in 1949 and was
salvaged in 1981. Restored, it is now on display at the
Alberta Aviation Museum."
