This 737 was originally G-BGTC with Orion Airways. Leased to Haiti Air as EI-BPV March 1985, it came to Canada with CP Air in February 1986. The aircraft would carry over in mergers with Pacific Western Airlines and Air Canada, to fly with Zip Air until the later was closed down and the aircraft stored in Mojave, CA. Flown for a short time by Canadian North (January 2005 - December 2008), the 737 was last with Venezolana as YV296T 2007 - 16.

U-1A Otter 58-1719 served a short Vietnam tour and storage at the Army Aeronautical Depot Maintenance Center in between testing with the Army Aviation Board (1959 - 66) and the Army Security Agency (1969 - 74). On a move Alaska in 1974, the aircraft's engine failed. Rather than repair, the Army sold it "as, where is". To Northern Thunderbird Air with a new engine in 1975, it operated as C-GLES until 1984. N338D in Alaska, the aircraft was bought by Rust's Flying Service in 2008 after an accident in 2006 left it in the bush. Registered N424KT, it was rebuilt with a Vazar turbine conversion.

While fire fighting on contract in Washington State during September 1988, the helicopter refueled at remote helipad near Ential, WA but did not arrive at the work site. Wreckage was found on a steep mountain slope showing evidence of an in-flight main rotor mast fracture and aircraft break-up;

This aircraft with only 40 hours on it was on a cross-country demonstration tour and it stopped in at the Prince George British Columbia Forest Service tanker base for a demonstration. I was fortunate to be given a ride in the aircraft and it was a fun time.

Pictured with it's short time with Northern Mountain Helicopters, this Bell JetRanger was with Alpine Helicopters 1982 - 85 before going to Westland Helicopters in 1988. On January 29, 1994, the helicopter was shuttling passengers from Houston, BC to the Mount Morice area for skiing. While climbing through a fog layer, the pilot lost visual reference with the terrain and crashed.

1950 built Beaver spent some time in Finland before coming back to Canada. When it was based near Prince George it made dolly takeoffs which were quite interesting to see. A truck hooked up to the dolly and quickly drove down the runway and when the Beaver reached flying speed it left the dolly and was away. On one particular dolly takeoff, the engine on the Beaver quit just as it left the dolly and it made a very rough landing and suffered a lot of damage. Now the Beaver is located in Alberta.

This Neptune was formerly RCAF 24113 and was purchased by The Flying Fireman of Victoria and converted to air tanker with a 3,000 gallon retardant tank. In 1972 it was used on a trial basis by the British Columbia Forest service during fire season and the Neptune did well in that role. Transport Canada did not approve the modifications so the Neptune was sold and went to the United States and worked there as an air tanker until it crashed in 1975. Its remains and parts of another Neptune were used in a rebuild and it is now on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Arizona as N14448.
