Any RCC member in the Sault Ste Marie area?

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking for an RCC member who has close access to the Bushplane Heritage Museum. I need lots of pictures of the CF-BFT Norseman.

Let me know if anyone can help.

Craig,

I've contacted Jack Minor who was credited with some pics online of CF-BFT but his collection was limited and he no longer lives in the Sault area.

From speaking withthe curator here at the Canadian Air and Space Museum (formerly Toronto Aerospace Museum), Paul was telling me that he doesnt have any contacts there anymore, and it seems as of late, volunteers there are scarce, and even the administartion seems to be changing every couple of months. Something about losing alot of their American visitors, and business being really slow.

If you have any contacts there, please pass them on.

Craig,

A big Thank you to you and Bob Parr for coming through with those pictures. I received the CD yesterday and it has all the pictures I was looking for. This will be a great resource for my Norseman build.

Re: Any RCC member in the Sault Ste Marie area?

You realize now that the maiden flight will necessarily have to occur at the Sault's new field.

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=4...16501&t=h&z=16

the jetty you see used to be an achorage for several float planes operated by the Steel Plant - so this would be totally appropriate.

this plane actually flew from here when it was registered as CF-BSH

and I'm sure you know about this site - http://www.norsemanhistory.ca/Aircraft.htm
