Great pictures BRD. That Otter with the Orenda, is it AZX or EYY, do you remember?

That's the only pic of the Orenda V8 powered Otter I could find off hand (might have something more on a disk in storage), so no remembering of the reg. (alas)

Yes, it was remarked by the dock cognoscenti that there was a distinct lack of clothing going on and none of the women present swooned either... :D

BRD your photos are beauties.

You have any information about the Beech 18 with
the animal painted on the nose?

I notice it has counter weight props and the photo
was taken before spar modes were required.

Thanks again for posting the photos.

just texted Bill and asked. He said that 18 was an RCMP bird...late 50's. Their other airplane up there was a DC-3 with JATO bottles on it.

That's a great placard, BRD. Might have to get one for my own airplane someday.

To be fair - many would have USED but few would have stopped in.

Hint: It was on an island.

I'm kind of embarrassed to post cell phone pictures ... but here are some post processed Samsung Galaxy SII pictures that I like.
