Re: BEECH 18 MALCOLM ISLAND REINDEER LAKE

no the gov controls the beer and hard booze prices in the province of Manitoba. same price in downtown wpg and in WHO-ville but milk is $10.00 a gallon and we don't even look at the healthy food to eat because we can't afford it, lol

Re: BEECH 18 MALCOLM ISLAND REINDEER LAKE

unloading the beech 18 was easy with the M816 Wrecker and the plane will be seen by google earth. in the summer i'll lay the wings out for picture pictures on google earth. until then the visitors can see the wing and call letters.

now to go get a few more planes.

Re: Can anyone tell me about Lynn Lake?

just a heads up. watch where you park your vehicle and keep an eye on it. the local artists are spray painting dicks (penis) on the vehicles. the american fishermen did not think it was very funny.
