...emerges a tribute to Canadian Peacekeepers and the crew and passengers of the last flight of Canadian Forces Buffalo 115461.

 

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.


News and photographs from our recent August 9, 2009 "Peacekeepers' Day and Buffalo Dedication Ceremony" and the August 8, 2009, 116 ATU Reunion are being added to the site. If you have any digital photographs from either event, please email them to Bruce for inclusion on this web site. Thank you to all who participated!
