This is C-GJGO on the Stewert River at Mazy Mae, YT. on Aqua 3190 floats I think that was the model but they were (lousy floats) the performance was less then stellar and you were limited to 3190 lbs gross weight if I remember right.

BCG worked in the Yukon when I was a kid. It was destroyed in near Pelly in 1988, I belive. There was a PIF and the swamper was badly burned.

It was May 29, 1990 at Pelly Crossing and yes it was completly destroyed which was to bad, as it was a very good Otter. This lake was the demise of another aircraft the year before JEA

Didn't work but I see a way too long code in your html tags. The URL of one of your pics is this:

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg26 ... MAR008.jpg. No more than that.

This is the direct link for it. Go to My Albums, mouse over the pic you want and below the pic, "Direct Link". Left-click on that and you will see that the link is being copied.

Come back here and click on the "Img" tag on top of the square you write in. They will appear twice in a row. Make sure you paste the link right in between the two "Img" tags.

Keep trying bud! :D

Oh, I see you've added a caption; 'JGO'

I remember that. Later years than when TNE was with Alkan.

I think TNE was white and red too though eh?

I think it was on CAPs though...

Rudder Bug, may I ask for some help too please? Are you all using photobucket to paste pics here? I'm not familiar with it. Is it the best option, or are there others? I'm currently storing my collection in Windows Photo Gallery & don't see an option to paste a copy onto the forum.

Hello Prairie Chicken

Photobucket is the only one I've been using so far and it works great. Are the ones in your Windows Photo Gallery on line or just saved on your hard drive? Did you upload them?

You can paste on here any photo or graphic that has a URL (www.whatsoever.jpg) Just right click on the photo and Copy, then right click to Paste them here, between the "Img" and "/Img" tags provided above.

Hoping this helps

RB

Or if your forum 'User Control Panel' (forum top right) is set up you can just go to the bottom of the post entry - place where you write your entries - and select "Filename", "Browse", then "Add File" right from your computer. :wink:

Oh, never mind. I think I figured it out; C-GSKY right?

I worked on HGV at one time and it was painted like that too.

It was C-GSKY, I owned it at the time but was Wilderness. I sold it to Pacific Island seaplanes in Fiji.

I flew DQ-GWW in Fiji. It had the big Wiplines once there. It was in 2000 and 2001. When did you sell yours to Dusty?

I believe it was early 2003
Its now DQ-DEE and still on the Amphibious 5370 Edos
The floats are 4930 with 17 inch section added in as a 1 off STC to equal 5370's.
5370 amphibious floats have never been certified on a Piston Beaver.
