Hi,
I am trying to identify a prop. I think it is off a Fleet Finch 16B. I can’t attach the pic.
Prop has a diameter of 92”. Info on the hub says Kinner B5, date June 1941.

Thanks,

Was it Kenting or ? that used Mosquito's for photo survey's across the north in the late 40's early 50's...as I recall back in the summer of 96 hauling pallets of what I thought was junk out of YRT ,until I had a closer look and realized there was a Merlin engine among the junk....all pieces of a M...

I think there is a Kenting DC 3 parked out on the tundra about 40-50 miles NE of YFB, I heard the story was that it crashed landed after running out of fuel on the way down from Clyde River(?) around 1974-75 (nobody got hurt). You might want to track down any older Borek or First Air pilots who mig...

Many years ago I was landing at a busy Canadian Airport. 2 man crew. It was my turn to fly. On the flare after I closed the throttles the the other pilot says: Say, did we get landing clearance? I says, Boy I don’t remember. Too late now. After touchdown and rollout Tower says cleared to land. Perfe...

It was 800 hp. Probably some derivative of the R1820.

Could there have been another engine mod in mind. I was on the fringes of the deal, Barney lent me to Harrison for a cpl weeks and I can remember the husky being in gimli and the bottom line was they were getting together for an engine mod, this was circa 1974, maybe it was a conversion to replace ...

The last data I have on SAQ is that it was donated to CMFT in 1976. I saw it at Crescent Beach about 1985. As for EIR my files says it was written off in 1977 at Council Bluffs, BC . The remains may be with the Bush Pilots Museum in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.

I believe there was a plan to retrofit the husky with Leonides engines. Barney Lamm was in partnership with Harrison Airways to do the work in Gimli but it faded and never really happened. I think there were a couple converted but never was a success. There were never any thing but good said about ...

I certainly hope authorities raise the wreckage,extract what remains are left and give the victims a proper burial! Flat bottom lake ....40-50 ft of clear water and minimal current.....I don't buy the safety argument! Sad that brother Morris and other deceased family members didn't get closure! Eat...

Here is Husky serial # 2 C-GCYV at Vancouver. Original reg was CF-EIL. In August 1984 I was asked to help get her back in shape and ferry to Winnipeg. It had been sitting outside by the Air Canada hangar for a few years (maybe a lot of years). After a few days we finally decide we are ready for a te...

duCapo, That West Coast Air old school original ball cap that’s now hanging on your office wall was graciously given to me by Antique Pilot when he had me over for dinner several years ago in YWG. Trust both of you are doing well! TPC Hey TPC, How’s it going? We are good. Pickerel and wild rice shi...

I was cleaning up some old boxes in my office building and came across some old logbooks. Anyone have time in this one? have a couple of DC-3 logbooks also. I have about 10 minutes riding as a swamper in that aircraft CF-EIM. Then the engine self destructed and we landed west of Digby Island. My fi...

Yes It is hard to understand. Improper use or lack of a checklist?? What else?

Stunning absolutely stunning. Control locks in, .? Or C of G way out? On June 23, 1957 a PWA DC-3 took off from the Port Hardy BC airport. They got airborne but crashed in the attempt to do a circuit and land. 12 desceased. Elevator control locks were in. DOT accident report RG12, Vol 1200, File 50...
