Photo Comment

Seen here taxiing across Lake Hood. Delivered new to the Ghana Air Force as G307 in December 1961. Returned to Canada to be rebuilt and civilianised in 1974. Flew as C-GLCR in 1976. Became N2899J in 1986, joining Rust's in 1989. Vazar Turbine conversion was carried out in 2000 in Victoria BC, returning to Rust's service thereafter.
