Beaver's 60th & Lockheed 10A

[AIRIC]

Yesterday was the press day for the Toronto Aerospace Museum’s 60th Anniversary celebrations for the the deHavilland DHC-2 Beaver. It was a great day for flying and today Viking Air is bringing in their new built Turbo Beaver. Celebrations kick off Friday evening at TAM and we should see a dozen or more Beavers on the ramp on Saturday.

I plan on attending. Gotta take my mother in law to Pearson (YYZ) so I will slide over for a bit on Saturday morning. All depends on the weather.

Hello Andrew, look for me. Today we had a CF-18 arrive and there are 5 Beavers on the ramp. Threat of afternoon storms will bring most of the aircraft in first thing Saturday morning. I had a great harbour shoot with the Viking Turbo Beaver I will post later.
