Anyone know the history of CF-KJA
The remnants of CF-KJA are sitting in the dump in Hall Beach. Does anyone know what kind of plane it was and what happened to it?

[quote="C-GPFG"]TC database shows it as a balloon, or if it's GKJA it is Riems 172. But both are showing active with no previous assignment to another aircraft.[/quote]
Yah, saw that already. The plane looks like a high-engine twin, possibly radial seeing as there are large augmentor tubes coming off the back of the engine mounts

[quote="Siddley Hawker"]It was an Aero Commander 580 operated by Aero Photo from Quebec City. I can't remember what happened to it, it was awhile ago.[/quote]
I just found that out. I checked the historical records of TC and found a couple of references to that plane listing it as an Aero Commander.
Pictures were taken this evening.

I used to work in Hall Beach for Nordair many many years ago. I remember that Aero Commander being a wreck when I was there in 1981. Back then, none of the locals had any recollection of when that accident occured, so I would guess it was back in the 70's or even 60's.

Re: Anyone know the history of CF-KJA
The plane, CF-KJA, was an Aero Photo plane doing photo surveillance in the area
It crashed in the early hours in the spring of 1968
I have several additional pictures of the wreck if you are interested.
