Photo Comment

This 1964 Beech 18 was in the fleet of Sherritt-Gordon Air Transport between 1972 - 1985. The airline was the transport division of Sherritt-Gordon Mining, operating a nickel mine in Lynn Lake, MB. The aircraft went to the USA as N45GM in 1985, but unfortunately was written off on February 9, 2007. It crashed during an ILS approach to Great Bend, KS while flying freight.
