The Late Mike Ody - and his awesome photo collection
Biography of Mike Ody

Aircraft above CF-CFL Hawker 400A 25193 would have been brand new!, when this photo was taken, Aircraft was owned by Churchill Falls (Labrador) Corporation also known as CFLoo - a hydro electric company based in Newfoundland, Canada.

Unfortunately this aircraft crashed on approach to Wabush Airport, Newfoundland when the pilot performed an instrument approach using the wrong beacon.

The crash killed all 8 on board. Incidentally, this aircraft was replaced with another new Hawker 400A also CF-CFL 25213 - Which crash at Chruchill Falls Airport Newfoundland, also with the loss of all 8 on board - when the pilots - landing at night, mistook lights as the runway and landed 1 1/2 miles short of the runway.

PS: And - the photo is taken on the Innotech Hangar at YYZ, the background is the old Carl Millard - Millardair Hangars.
