#TBT: As #OEM for legendary #deHavilland #Canada #aircraft, and stewards of the archives, we get to see some cool old drawings like this 3-page sketch (circa 1949) showing how to dismantle & stow a #DHC2 #Beaver inside a #Fairchild #C82 #Packet or #C119 #Flying #Boxcar. #avgeek

[Viking Air Limited @vikingairltd]

Today's the first #flight anniversary of the #Canadair #CL215. An #aerialfirefighting specialist, the CL-215's low speeds & incredible maneuverability was ideal for the extreme conditions inherent when battling #wildfires. Production ended in 1990 with 125 #aircraft produced.

A statement from Lieutenant-Colonel Mike French, Commanding Officer of 431 (Air Demonstration) Squadron on the @CFSnowbirds CT-114 Tutor Ejection

[Viking Air Limited @vikingairltd]

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the 1st wheeled landing in #Antarctica, testing the 1st airstrip on the continent at #Marambio. It's no surprise the aircraft was a #DHC2 #Beaver - a robust #aircraft that helped open many regions around the world.

Where was the #RCAF on D-Day?

The #RCAF had 42 operational squadrons overseas on D-Day—June 6, 1944. Of these 42 squadrons, 39 have the “Normandy” Battle Honour, meaning that they took part in combat operations that day or during the subsequent campaign.
