The autumn sun adds contrast to this view of Rust's Otter splashing down in Lake Hood, trailing ropes and foam. This angle hides most of the 'aesthetic changes' that came with the turbo conversion.

'Miss Karon' joined Woods a year before the photo was taken. She was bought by Everts Air Fuel in May 2003 and subsequently flown to Texas for rebuild. Eventually Everts Air Cargo put her in cold storage at Fairbanks after many years of work. She was still there early in 2017.

There's nothing like the friendly pace of piston singles on calm summer waters. At the age of 64, this Otter is still operational in 2017 as a turbo version. I believe it kept its lovely round engine until 2005.

After twelve years with the Royal Pakistan Air Force this Freighter did civil work in New Zealand and then Canada, where both its owners operated out of Terrace. Unfortunately the propliner was damaged beyond repair at the age of 44 when the right-hand landing gear collapsed on landing at Bronson Creek on 24 April 1997. [Nikon N8008S, Kodachrome 64]

A restfull B.C. aviation scene. Either for lack of assignment or because of the low ceiling this Bell sits idle on the Canadian-Alaskan border. Its registration would have entitled it to be the company's flagship at the time.

Visiting the Sheremetyevo Research Institute in the middle of the nineties, what a tour that was! A dozen different types visible in the background and complimentary Tupolev just airborne in the far right. Orient Avia had the nicest livery I ever saw on an Il-62. [Kodachrome slide]

Hard-working 216 Sqn three-holer at IAT arrivals day. The hastily applied desert camo did well in the Gulf theatre but seems to be giving in to the elements of good old England. [Fuji RD100, Nikon N8008S]

Schiphol seventeen years before I scanned this in 2005. My favorite wide-body and companies that have since been renamed and vanished from the scene in Amsterdam. Both the Saudia plane and Air Lanka's 4R-ULB were getting ready to leave here. [Fuji RD100, Pentax MX]

Saw a shiny Aeroflot A320 at Schiphol the day I scanned this slide in 2004. Guess I'm not always in favour of progression...

A veteran of several famous US airlines this Ten-Eleven spent half of its active career with American Trans Air. Towards the end of the eighties and in 1990 it was leased on several occasions to Egypt Air, but also for some brief periods to Air Algérie. In this case, all that was changed on the outside were the titles.

To my memory few aviation events have seen as much rain as IAT87. This arrival, with patron of the Air Tattoo HM King Hussein at the controls, was worth leaving shelter for a moment. Very appropriately registered JY-HKJ is clearly distinguished from other Tristars by its vast array of transmitters and receivers. In October 2001 the aircraft changed royal hands and became HZ-AB1.

Years ago, a lot of photos of this airframe could already be found online, including those of its sad end in 1996. However, hardly visible on those were the 'Instone Air Line' titles on the cargo doors. As I have this shot that shows them at least partly I gladly responded to a request to upload it.

ZD948 was acquired from British Airways as a TriStar 500 just four months earlier. Here being a TriStar C1 passenger aircraft of the RAF it was still wearing the remains of its BA colours and 'last two' of its former registration G-BFCA. The aircraft would be converted into a K1 tanker version in 1985 and then a KC1 tanker-transport version with cargo door. It taxies out here for a full-length take-off from Brize. Departing before it is Hercules XV217 countering the crosswind from the north.
