Douglas DC-3 - QuebecAir

Quebecair is one classic airline that was based both in Quebec and Montreal and flew from 1947 as Rimouski Airlines and folded in 1986 (being sold to Canadian Pacific). They flew the DC-3s (here depicted in the classic livery) for many years, and lost 3 of them to a fire in 1958, which turned out to be the push for modernization that came with F-27s and Convairs 540 and 580s. The company was owned by the province of Quebec and could not keep up with the jet and fuel price escalation in the late 70s and 80s and it was sold to Canadian Pacific, that turned to be Canadian Airlines and after a sequence of merges, it somehow is outlived by Air Canada.
