The aircraft did come up out of the water largely in one piece, the motor is still missing; they will go back to look for it next winter. The aircraft was cut apart to get it all onto the trailer to bring in home.

CF-JDO is found and retrieved from Peter Pond Lake, SK. The left side photo is not mine, and I don't have any other photos of the salvage. Ray Gran, (the pilot) left, is seen on Aug. 10, 1959, in the background is the Cessna 180 which disappeared ten days after the photo was taken.

This was just water dropped for an airshow a few years ago. I'm heading back up North in another day, will take my camera bag with me this time! I didn't before, just to concentrate on learning to fly it and not be distracted. Stay tuned!

No, I never flew at all until leaving my Air Force uniform, ironically.

Here's a before and after comparison of what I now fly. Our Tanker 475, a Convair 580A, used to be a Convair 330/340, here seen in its Air Force One uniform. Used when they needed to get into runways that were too short for the B707. It's now part of our fleet fighting fires, we have 4 of...
