Ex-N429MA, TI-ALK, HK-692, N5530. Later C-GOIZ. WFU at Red Deer (YQF/CYQF)

Formerly N343HA, this Electra is a parts source for the Air Spray fleet. Also a home for local pigeons. Still in full Zantop colors.

N343HA (note "3HA" on nosewheel door) was one of four former Zantop Electras acquired by Air Spray. It became C-GOIZ, but while the other three were converted to firebombers, this one never was.

One of my favourite types, taken during my first visit to Miami in the days when it really was the Mecca for propliner enthusiasts

The former N5530, HK-692, N5530E, TI-ALK and N429MA, seen soon after commencement of lease from Zantop. Later repainted in full EXS c/s and returned 4.97; now stored at Lethbridge (Alberta) by Air Spray as C-GOIZ. Taken during a Finnair freight run from LHR on 737F TF-ABT behind
