Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell

[Lommer]

Thanks for posting those bezerker - that last strip would definitely make me pucker up. If you don't mind my asking, who do you work for? Looks like fun. PM if you prefer.

These pics just don't do the northern lights justice but they looked amazing in person.

[bezerker]

Use google and try "yukon charter aircraft" and you might look at the 3rd one down.

Just got back from a nice trip today.







I'll apologize for all with slow internet and small monitors, but I couldn't bring myself to shrink this one any smaller.

Hey Cat came across this Pig Boat in Rexdale Arizona the other day I believe its an X Buffalo machine It and the Douglas Racer are owned by a museum in Rexdale. The 4 engine Canso is owned by Dr Forrest Bird in Spokane I believe on this flight it was headed to Singapore non stop.

STL you were right except I don't know the name of the lake, it is in the next valley west of Kusawa

[just curious]

Mile 166 Dempster Hiway

IOJ?

[longjon]

No.

[bmc]

Is that a Twin Pin?

[longjon]

Yes his second one, the first went down earlier and ended up as a greenhouse in Watson by the Lake.

[xsbank]

Jack Anderson's Twin Pioneer.

[longjon]

Good question. I don't know where the NCAS Twin Pin of Jack's went to. I did hear John Rolls of TerrAir flew the first one over from Scotland but the second I don't know. Maybe it is.

Might be time to do some research on the matter.

[bmc]

There was one parked in Terrace.

[longjon]

The machine from Terrace and this one off the end of the RR strip are both in Quesnell I think.

Has anyone saw them there?

[just curious]
