Rog747: Seems the founder owners of Spearair, Sterling, and Conair were all big ''characters''.

Oh yes, it seems the business attracts big characters.
Rumour was that mr Keihänen copied the fur coat theme from Simon Spies.

The Spearair story has lots of twists. So much that couple of years ago there was a tv series made out of it, beginning from 1972 and the first Spearair holiday flight.
Theres been songs written about his businesses too.
But as one can imagine there are a million stories to tell of a guy who farmed trouts in his swimming pool at home.

I'd love to see the picture of the spearairs, if you can find it.

I apologise the off topic, this has nothing to do with 707's. But goes with the holiday theme though.
