Wartime DC3 getting a lifeline

Thought this was neat

Apparently last flown in 1988, bought by non-profit group Avialogs last year as a restoration attempt, apparently recently Buffalo has now purchased it and will get it back serviceable for next years celebrations....nice to see new life for a derelict air frame. I suspect the donor airframe parts will come from C-GWIR ???

Word on the street is this will be filmed and made into a TV special, maybe that is the angle for funding?

I doubt it. They have a few parts donor airframes and lots of spares in Red Deer, Alberta.
