  • Air International Highlights the "Rebirth" of the Twin Otter by Viking
    COMMERCIAL TWIN OTTER 400 Twin Otter Rebirth 94 AI.02.12 TWIN OTTER 400 COMMERCIAL Viking is carving a Twin Otter-shaped niche in some very difficult markets with its 21st century Series 400 version of the type, as Joe Woodard explains estern Canada’s Viking, newly manufacturing the classic de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, had a good year in 2011. In May, with its first Wfive aircraft complete and ten more in final assembly, Viking was granted full Transport Canada production approval for its upgraded Twin Otter Series 400. Then, at the Paris air show, Viking trumpeted the delivery of the first of a dozen Series 400s to the government of Peru for resupply of its remote jungle stations. Next, PT Airfast was declared as a new customer, ordering four of the 19-seat STOL workhorses for charter to the Indonesia mining industry. Finally, Viking announced delivery of the last of three Series 400s (in its current order) to legacy Twin Otter operator Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA), launch customer for the floatplane version. In an unprecedented move, Viking has brought an almost 50-year-old design back into full assembly-line production after a hiatus of almost 25 years. But there have been significant upgrades. Most visibly, the Series 400 has a new Honeywell ‘glass cockpit’ and 21st century avionics. Less visibly, it has new, more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 turboprops and Hartzell propellers. And almost invisibly, it includes a growing number of light, maintenance-free composite components. These changes are designed to provide evolutionary improvements in safety and maintainability; lower acquisition, operating and maintenance costs; and carefree operations.

    modelcraft) NOORDUYN NORSEMAN UC-64A PRECISION 1/48 SCALID With wheels, floats and skis. Decals included for: • Northway Aviation • Israeli Air Force KIT NUMBER 48-001 The Noorduyn Norseman has a long history as a utility aircraft in over 18 countries around the world. From the parched outback of Australia to the rugged wilderness of Northern Canada, the Norseman is a well respected aircraft. First produced in 1936, and in production for over 20 years, it was the only aircraft produced by Noorduyn Aviation. It was designed in Montreal as a bush plane by Dutch-born Robert Noorduyn. The Norseman could be quickly converted to skis, floats or wheels for use in a variety of conditions. This kit contains parts and decals for the civilian Northway Aviation and the unusual Israeli Air Force variation. Please note that the civilian version uses the three bladed propeller and the short exhaust, while the military version uses the two bladed propeller and the long exhaust.

  • WCAM Website and I Have Found Several on Photo Sharing Sites As Well
    Here is a brief summary of the aircraft in the Western Canada Aviation Museum Collection. CAAA artists may choose one or more as subjects for the conference exhibition. Please let the President know which aircraft you are planning to paint. Photos of the aircraft are available on the WCAM website and I have found several on photo sharing sites as well. Hint: try a google image search for your subject along with 'WCAM' and/or 'Winnipeg'. (from the WCAM Tour Guide Manual) WCAM - Air Craft on Display CF-AAM Fokker Super Universal The aircraft on exhibit, CF-AAM was reconstructed using the parts of four wrecked airplanes, by Clark Seaborn and his team of dedicated friends. After a 17-year road to restoration, the Fokker first flew July 24, 1998, but it took another year of proving and paperwork to gain a coveted certificate of airworthiness. The aircraft had an eight-year tour on the vintage aircraft circuit, making appearances all over North America, covering over 35,000 miles before coming 'home' to rest at the Museum in 2005. In its heyday, this aircraft was a luxurious transport - the comfortable mohair upholstered seats, mahogany cabin paneling, sliding glass windows for fresh air - especially when compared with sled dog transportation. The pilot's accommodation, featuring an enclosed cockpit, was truly a remarkable enhancement for its time. Clark Seaborn recalls: "The artifacts of four airplanes arrived at my Calgary home on a flatbed trailer in July 1982, and with the help of basic drawings, we commenced work on the fuselage structure. Several of my friends were possessed of the same dream and assisted tirelessly on the restoration." Because the artifacts were so ravaged, the team scoured the world for further construction and finishing details.

In See table of contents only four years, the Fokker Super Universal had gone from state of the art to obsolescent. Exploring Western Canada Airways' decision to replace the Supers, this paper offers insight into the nature of obsolescence, demonstrating Publisher(s) that the aircraft did not achieve this status because of technical changes or dramatic technical breakthroughs in the design of other aircraft. Instead, the CSTHA/AHSTC Super Universal became obsolete because of changes in its use-context. The rise of the Great Bear Lake mineral rush, the introduction of new sorts of ISSN aircraft into the region, increased competition, and changing passenger expectations all encouraged Western Canada Airways' management to 0829-2507 (print) re-evaluate their definition of what constituted a superior technology within 1918-7750 (digital) the context of the Mackenzie Valley.
