DC3 DISCOVERY WITH 206 ON FLOATS

Post by King of Obsolete »

hello, i just registered because i thought you guys might like to see the fun we have in the great white north. i was bored on monday so i ordered a 206 and went out and looked at a dc3 that crashed on an island hauling lodge guests in 1969. so would any body want parts off this plane before i drag it home to the KINGDOM to make a guest house?????

King of Obsolete,

Thanks for the link to your story page. I haven't seen Berg since he was a puppy. Nice to see he is still around. Even if all we get to see is his hiny. The pilot we shall call 'Pete'? Now he is what some would call The Shit. I mean that in the best way possible too. Glad to hear he is making a go of it up there.

Cheers

thansk, i have known the pilot as petey so i just used pete for the website. i get a million hits a month and over a 1000 veiws aday on the other BBs that i hang out at.
on the lynn lake air website you will see a very nice colour picture with the head frame. i took it in december of 2003 and i would say not bad for a colour blind fellow, LOL
lynn lake air service has given us good service and we can't complian. even flew southern belle back from winnipeg when she got sick in the fall.

Looks like a Buffalo machine ( the first one). If it's the one I'm thinking of the pilot told me " we turned on the landing lights at 500', didn't like what we saw, so we turned 'em off again"

yes all the dc3 that i have seen in manitoba have been picked, very clean. the one in churchill is set up with picnic tables and painted to look good. you walk inside on the plywood floor and sit in the seat for a picture. it is even on the churchill tourist map. WOW is all i have to say.

The DC-3 near Beaver Creek YT was gone over by Ron Frid years before Doug got near it. He slung the engines out and sold them for the cranks.

Then when TNTA was running their 3,s they send a crew up to strip it of cowls etc and they had a whole truck of stuff complete with form 1,s of course.

Actually I doubt there was very much left by the time Doug got near it.

there is one motor still at the crash site of the churchill dc3. you can't see it in the pictures because it is about 10 feet aheadof the plane and down in between the rocks. the left motor that caused the crash is gone. they must have taken it during the crash investagtion.
would any parts be salvagable on the dc3, i don't like scrapping something it there is a use for it. even if i make a guest house out of it, i would like any good parts to find a home.

What are the rules when parting out a crashed plane like that, does no one technically own it?

DC.3 props were not attached to Motors. Motors derive their power from extension cords pluged into the wall. Airplanes have Engines.

Just one of my pet peeves.

My feelings toward salvaged parts from the bush is that as long as you have a form 1 with it for traceability then go ahead and sell it if you can find a buyer.

The big thing recently with parts was the bogus factor and all receiving departments have to have traceability or out they go.

Not the way it works in reality I know
