    CWH’s Dakota proudly wears the colours of 436 Squadron, whose slogan was ‘Canucks Unlimited’. This aeroplane (C-GDAK) was built in June 1939 and, in 1990, was the C-47 with the second highest total of airtime of all operational Dakotas logging over 82,000 hours of air time and 12 million miles.
