Don McVicar I first met Don McVicar in a cold hangar at Dorval.At the time dad was searching for a spot to rebuild the Travelair (rent free of course)Don owned some airline or another flying north in Canada and south to Cuba.While the hangar proved to be too damn cold and dark to work in, Don himself was a really warm guy.
I remember dad pulling his leg and saying "McVicar I flew the Atlantic when there were no nav aids,for you guys it was a piece of cake."
Later I met him again at a Ferry Pilots reunion in Dorval.
