What a serendipitous topic. Today, a group of us went to our gliding club’s AME in High River Alberta to discuss our options for a new towplane.
When we got there, we discovered a U-Haul truck in the hangar and a group from Ontario loading a crashed L-19 into the truck. So we helped with the loading.
Once the truck left for the three-day drive home, we helped put the aircraft that had been displaced, back in the hangar - a Thrush 510P, a DA20, a C180 and this C185 amphib:
It was very odd to see an amphib taxiing on a snow covered field, 300 miles from the nearest open water. The temperature was -23°. We didn’t keep the hangar door open for long!
