About the UC-64A

The Noorduyn UC-64A is a single-engine fixed-wing aircraft of the type-certificated category, accommodating up to nine individuals. It serves utility transport and cargo-dropping roles, suiting operators requiring rugged performance in remote environments.

Widely recognized for its military service and utilitarian capability, an example of this model famously disappeared during an operational flight over the English Channel while transporting a prominent big band leader. The type saw extensive use ranging from forest fire support to bush operations across northern regions, earning a reputation for durability under demanding conditions.
