Sextants and Sonnets - Vintage Wings of Canada | When my father, F/L John W.

The books ranged from school textbooks for English courses to historical fiction for young readers, from commissioned histories to an atlas, from anthologies to biographies.

Word has it that Race 57, the vintage Cleveland air racer has been sold. The Super Corsair was one of the stars in the movie Thunder Over Reno. Wayne Sagar from AAFO got in touch with Robert Odegaard, the previous owner, and got this fantastic quote: ""It is true!!! I was offered a deal that only comes along once in a couple life times, I still get to fly it!!!! It is going to the most beautiful museum I have ever seen. It is here in Chandler AZ.
We are also doing another super Corsair ,Race 74, in Kindred that should fly by the end of summer that I can fly anytime I want. Also, I will have the time and resources to finish our other Corsair, an F4U-4 that I started on before Halley (our Daughter) was born, she now is 22 years old and I have'nt finished the plane yet. The average person doesnt believe how much time and money these things take."

Keeping the DC-3 flying from IAGblog Podcasts by iagblog
Back in the 1930's the DC-3 was the plane. Douglas was the industry leader. Peak production of the type was reached in 1944 with 4,853 being delivered. The Soviet Union built another 4,937! After WW2 this airplane got the commercial airline industry started. To say it is historically important to commercial aviation is an understatement. Just when you thought you'd seen the last of these at airshows, along comes Basler Turbo Conversions. They take these planes, rebuild them and add nifty PT6s. Then you get this lovely looking machine in the picture. Tom Weigt is the president of Basler and he tells us the company's story.
