PWA's 1980 built B737 combi parked on the GA ramp so probably a Distant Early Warning (DEW-Line) resupply flight. Still in operation with Canadian North at time of upload and as someone pointed out, having the gravel kit is what saves these old birds from the scrap-man's axe.

Here it has just been added to the Lambair fleet and later went to Perimeter Airlines from 1981 until 1996 (Photo ID:186997) when it went to Buffalo Airways who used it as a spares source. Despite this it was exported as N856QB in July 2018 and as of 2020 sits at Oshkosh/WI (ref Photo ID:270720).

Originally built for Piedmont in 1966, but Fairchild Hiller needed an aircraft to develop the FH-227B and later the FH-227D and arranged for Piedmont to reschedule. In 1972 a large cargo door was installed and it went to Nordair. Later it flew for DHL in Europe and was WFU at Norwich/UK in March 1993 as EI-CAZ.

Capital Air Surveys of Ottawa operated this ex-RCAF Beech 3N from 1969. It had a chequered career during which it got impounded at Preswick on the way back from Algeria in 1981. Having been abandoned to its fate it ended up on the UK register as G-BKRN and has been restored to represent a US Navy UC-45J.

In 1996, while with Air North, it suffered a terminal accident after take-off from Bronson Creek. The No.2 engine caught fire then separated from the wing. Despite full power on the remaining three engines and full deflection of rudder and aileron controls in an attempt to prevent yawing or rolling, the aircraft came down in a river bed. Must have been a terrifying experience for the crew.

The Province of Manitoba Air Division were trying this out. Would have been great if they'd bought a fleet, but no such luck.

After only two years in service the paint has come off the leading edge and forward fuselage though hard usage. In the spring on unpaved runways, the top inch or two melts first trapping water and creating muddy 'soup' which clings to the tires, as here. Last operator was City Express of Toronto and cancelled in January 1990 with remains in storage at St. Andrews/MB.

Perimeter had several of these and they were used extensively on bag runs to N-W Ontario, flown by graduates of the IFR flying school to build experience. Because of this the attrition rate was quite high and this one was wrecked after take-off from Atikokan, Ontario on 23 August 1991.

Another one of the 70 or so ex-RCAF Beech Expeditors on the civil register at the time. It has long since disappeared from the scene. Many Beech 18s were retired after an expensive wing spar modification became mandatory in 1975.
