This 1978 made Mooney is visiting from Springbank/AB.

Imported in 2013, this 1999 built Maule is from Red Deer/AB and believed to have arrived here for sale by a local broker.

Constructed by Eastern Aircraft division of GM and delivered to the US Navy as 69327. Modified by Fairey Aviation from torpedo bomber to an Anti-Submarine aircraft for the Royal Canadian Navy as 326 in 1950. In 1961 it was modified again by Fairey Aviation to a fire bomber for Skyway Air Service as CF-KCG. In 1969 it went to Conair until 1976 when it was damaged in an accident in New Brunswick. From there it found its way to the Imperial War Museum in England where it was restored representing an Avenger flown by George Bush during World War II. Moved to Liverpool in 2023 for the future Battle Of The Atlantic Fleet Air Arm Museum.

Northwest Territorial leased this Hercules between October 1978 - November 1983 from Safair Freighters. Delivered as ZS-RSF in November 1974, after return to Safair, it would be leased in the USA in 1987 as N904SJ for operation by Southern Air Transport. Next with Transafrik International as S9-CAI, the freighter would return to Safair in 2004 as ZS-RSF

De-identified and in full make up, C-GHCT is ready for a bit part in the 1982 movie "The Mother Lode". It became a much larger part when the a typical landing scene went wrong. Reducing the rate of decent too late for a glassy water landing, a float hooked and the aircraft cartwheeled, overturned and sank. Without time and a budget to re-shoot with another aircraft, the crash was written into the movie. The aircraft was salvaged and rebuilt. It's flying as C-GATJ at the time of uploading.

The operator name comes from the Cascade Mountains range along the B.C. coast and an appropriate logo design has here been added to the tail since my upload of June.

Arriving from Bella Coola/BC is this 2009 built PC-12. It is registered to Grimes Sales and Service of Lampman/SK who deal in oilfield production equipment.

This 2008 built TBM-700 is registered to a Dodge-Chrysler dealer at a small town called Fairview in northern Alberta. Fairview's main claim to fame is that PBY-5A C-FNJE was rebuilt there by enthusiasts after Buffalo Airways sank it in 2001.

The ultimate non-pressurized Cessna Centurion was the model T210R of 1985/86. Very few were made and this Airdrie/AB based example is the only one left in Canada at this date.

Visiting from Airdrie/AB is this 1974 made Centurion which has the Robertson STOL kit. Two obvious STOL features are the wing fences and drooped wing leading edge.

Taiga is a new airline being set up in the Russian Far East that will consolidate some existing operators and fly the DHC-6, DHC-8 and A319. This is the second to emerge from the paint shop after C-GVDH/986 in September.

This EC135 was a familiar sight here in its previous guise as N1GC when it used to shuttle visitors between CYYJ and nearby James Island during the summer months. Now owned by Martini Aviation of Fort Langley/BC since January 2020.

The two Taiga Air Twin Otters have slightly different color schemes depicting increasingly distant mountain ridges disappearing into the distance. My interpretation of the spiky symbol is that it represents a cross-section through an evergreen tree twig. Lastly, there is the silhouette of a bear discreetly placed on the fuselage of this one.
