Twin Otter FGOG in YVR

Post by '79K20driver »

I saw Tindi's old GOG at Harbour Air today, and low-and-behold it had "Harbour Air" painted on the side. Anyone know what the scoop is? I have to say it looked pretty sharp!

Yeah, the old Golf paint scheme even kind of looked like a Borek paint job. They used to call it Go Oilers Go when it came to YXD........Wow, I am old.

Hey Rowdy, they are a new western Subsidiary of Ken Borek Air. The engrish competency test to fly them is not as stringent. Part of KBA"s eastern global expansion plan.
