Beech V tail when I was ten. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

My dad used to fly one of these off a gravel road and 'hangared' it in a farm yard.

My job (4 yrs old) was to untie the tiedowns.

PWA's Lockheed Electra in the early 70's. Landed at CYXD at night. It was very exciting! I still remember getting a tasty sandwich with baby pickles and the pretty "stews".

My first flight was in a Sea Bee too. My dad had one in the mid fifties. He took the wheels off it to lighten the plane and because there were no airstrips near Chapleau at the time.

Whatever Canadian flew from Cranbrook to Vancouver in the late 80's. A Dash 8 I'm assuming.
