"Planes on Pedestals" in Canada

[Ed Solonyka]

I have a web site that features over 100 photos of "Planes on Pedestals" in Canada. I am always on the look out for photos of aircraft that are not in my collection. If you are aware of any, please let me know.

Thanks,

Ed Solonyka

Hey Ed--

Welcome to WIX...your site's had a good few hits from tips on this forum. Actually Mike Henniger mentioned to me last week two T-birds I had not yet heard about. One was in Grand Bend ON; can't recall where the other was. Now that they're retired from the CF, a "new wave" of them seems to be turning up on sticks in parks...

Keep in touch!

Cheers

Afternoon Ed

I was at your site a while ago and am posting this reply but am not sure if you have the 2 aircraft that are on pedestals in front of our museum. Alberta Aviation Museum presently have a CF 101 and a Bomarc in front. Come Sept 2 we will also have a Norseman V on floats mounted. If anyone reading this is in the Edmonton area on the 2nd we start the move @ 0900 with the actual mounting to commence @ 1100. We have the 25 of Sept @1100 hrs as the dedication to Bush Pilots so comeone, come all.

Sincerely Gerry Hagan

Hi Ed,

Like your site.

Would the replica P-39 at Watson Lake, Yukon qualify for your site, or are you only pursuing authentic aircraft?

Doh! Try this:

Hi Ed!

Thanks for making that site available. It is a great way for us Canucks to find the planes when we are going someplace.

Actually Mike Henniger mentioned to me last week two T-birds I had not yet heard about. One was in Grand Bend ON; can't recall where the other was.

I was using your website a few weeks ago to plan a nice lazy route to the YAF's Thunder Over Michigan from here in Ottawa via Toronto. As Steve mentioned I was able to find two planes I had not seen before, the one in Grand Bend and the other in Acton. If it wasn't for your site I would never have know where to look. I'm a little busy right now, but if your are interested, I can provide you with recent pictures.

Please stay in touch with WIX here. Let us know when you make updates to your site. Perhaps you and Scott (our fearless leader and webmaster) could come up with some kind of linking arrangement for the various airframes on Pedestals.

Regards,

Mike

How did you get the picture of CF-100 814B at Trenton? How did you get inside the perimeter?

Mike

Apparently if you have picture ID and ask politely they will allow you in to photograph the Voodoo and Canuck...it is still on my to do list !!

Just sent Ed a set of pictures of the new Harvard at the Dunnville airport
I took yesterday.
That makes two Harvards in Dunnville.
For those who don't know the area well the airport is south of town toward
Port Matlin and Bing park

Mike if you can't get into the Base on the south side of Hwy2 you can see the CF-100 & Voodoo from the fence. Take the road that leads down from the museum and cross over Hwy2 into the park. You can see it from the driveway.
