No. FOX is at Ignace ON at Gordon Hughes maintenance shop. This is IGX.

So--who is the guy under the Norseman wearing the Jet Lag Bar hat and any idea what he is doing to that airplane

Not sure but kind of looks like Gerry Norberg, think he owns his own norseman...looks like he's adding the underwater exhaust mod.

I did not know that the Big Johnson mod fit on a 1340 Pratt
Re: Norseman at Selkirk, MB July 10, 2019
What's the advantage of this mod? Just noise suppression or does the back pressure help starting or something?
Re: Norseman at Selkirk, MB July 10, 2019
I think he is using the stove pipe to keep the flames off the belly during the first start after carburetor repairs or a long period of inactivity.
Be a shame to set the belly on fire.
That is a very clean Norseman belly!

Keeps the oil from spewing all over the belly and floats on start up after winter storage.
