Thanks for the history brief Pilotart. This past summer at a local fly-in I got these two birds. My MINI was way on the other side.

I could not find a link, but if you Google Earth to the North Eastern Carribean Island of St Bart (Saint Barthelemy),
you can zoom right into this hill and Airport (TFFJ).

View is also spectacular when lying on the beach at the other end of that runway!

Minis and planes hey.. I think I can add to this thread...



The cooper and XXB at YVRs southside (waterbase) last summer.



By the old CP and now AC hangar



A friends clubman by the seair docks



funny



The DC3 was converted by basler.. Has -67's on it. Complete rework of the entire aircraft. Kenn borek that I used to work for now operates six of the converted machines. Heck of a neat machine. Next to the herc its the biggest commercially viable machines on wheel skis.

I'll add my photos....2010 JCW and our 1946 Piper J3 Cub...I fly the Cub every week while working on our current project, a 1928 Command-Aire which is a OX-5 powered biplane. It last flew in 1938 and we hope to have it back in the air later this year or early next year. My dad and I have been working on it for the past 8 years or so.


Here is a link to my online photo album with 280 pictures so far:

You piqued my interest so I searched it up now. I can believe the photo is not doctored - check out this short video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8WHsg-2U8g

Old Lancaster bomber that saw action in WWII then served in Canada for search and rescue and patrols of Canada northern borders during the Cold War. Currently sits at a small airfield near the New Brunswick - Quebec border.
