    BRINGING BRITISH COLUMBIA’S AVIATION PAST INTO THE FUTURE CCAANNAADDIIAANN MMUUSSEEUUMM OOFF FFLLIIGGHHTT TTEECCHHTTAALLKK:: FFLLEEEETT FFIINNCCHH AANNDD CCAANNUUCCKK The Canadian Museum of Flight is presenting a series of informal technical talks on aircraft in its fleet. These talks will cover topics ranging from the history of the com - pany; the history of the aircraft type; and its development; production methods and places; the history of the engine and its development. Also covered will be the challenges in maintaining and flying these classic aircraft in today’s environment; how the mechanics find the parts and how the pilots keep current on flying a 70 year old flying machine designed before the dawn of the jet age. This will be followed by details of how the aircraft is prepared for flight; how the en - gine is started; followed by an engine start and flight. During the proceedings, a draw will be conducted entitling the lucky winner to a flight in the aircraft being discussed (some conditions apply). FLEET 16B FINCH FLEET 80 CANUCK 2 THE HISTORY OF THE FLEET FAMILY OF AIRCRAFT CORPORATE HISTORY Reuben Fleet was born on March 6, 1887, in Montesano, Washington. The Fleets were a prosperous family; his fa - ther was city engineer and county auditor for Montesano, and owned large tracts of land in the Washington Territory. Reuben grew up in Grays Harbor, Washington. At 15, Fleet attended Culver Military Academy where his uncle was su - perintendent. In 1907, Fleet returned home where he began teaching all grades from first through eighth. After a num - ber of months, Fleet set himself up as a realtor and resigned from teaching.

Here are some pictures of my 12 successful flights that weekend. As you can see in the photo, there is unlimited flying space. Even more important is the landing area, it is so big, you can land anywhere any di- rection. It would be hard to have a bad landing any- where. Interesting enough is the jet does about 230 mph but it did not seem fast due to the unlimited clear blue sky, you can use up a lot of airspace. When you come in for a landing and think you have it slow, it is still doing around 40mph. Just pick up the nose, let it bleed off some speed and it will touch down so gracefully.
