This 1963 Skywagon was one quite a few seaplanes parked up at YVR.

This was one of many lovely seaplanes buzzing about YVR on this day.

'Hong Kong Trader' is pictured picking up speed on rw26L.

Pictured rolling out on rw26L after the long flight from ZRH.

A day trip up to YVR from Seattle proved very worthwhile with lots of interesting planes on the go.

This was just one of many seaplanes to be seen around the South side of YVR.

Lovely scheme on this visitor from the San Juan Islands (WA not PR!).
