On August 9, 1974, Canadian Forces CC-115 Buffalo 115461 (Buffalo 461) was shot down over Syria resulting in the deaths of 9 Canadian Peacekeepers. This site documents the restoration of a Buffalo in tribute to Canadian Peacekeepers and the crew and passengers of the last flight of Buffalo 461.

A full description of the restoration project is at our RESTORATION page. To learn more about Buffalo 115461, 116 ATU, UNEF2, and 115 ATU check out our BUFFALO 461 page. A general history and compilation of Canadian Forces Buffalo aircraft start on the CANADIAN CC-115s page. The restoration crew gratefully acknowledge the remarkable act of generosity by DAC Aviation International for the donation of Buffalo aircraft to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
