'The second Fairchild 45-80 Sekani, shortly before trials with Mackenzie Air Service, circa January 1938.' Named after an indigenous people of Canada, the Sekani was a large twin-engine bush plane by Fairchild's Canadian branch in Longueuil, first flown in August 1937. It was overweight and difficult to handle on one engine. CF-BHE was only flown for a few months and both airframes were scrapped. Photo from: Ingenium
