I visited your museum 5 years ago and was so impressed.I have visited many and its everything an aircraft museum should be. Immaculate aircraft in an outstanding display.Last summer I was very excited to hear that you had rescued C-FNJB from its demise in BC .I was a crewchief on it from 90-94 but it was as Tanker 9 of Northern Air Operations 5th Bomber Group. Just to correct your write up, Norcanair operated it and three other Cansos until 1980. Then the Saskatchewan Government purchased 3 of the Cansos and operated them until 1997. As for the gaudy colours, the yellow, red, and green are our provincial colours but also, at the time, yellow was considered a good colour for visibility over a smokey forest fire. Bombardier still uses yellow for their CL415 scooper, the heir to the Canso as an amphibious waterbomber. Again, so happy you saved a historic warrior and that it couldn’t have gone to a better home.

Comment on New Me-262 Reproduction lands at the Museum by Andreas Weigand

Just wondering where to find more about the history of the Me-262.
My father (Heinrich J. Weigand) was a rocket scientist but also a civilian test pilot. I know he flew the Me-109 and was slated to fly the Me-163 until it was deems too dangerous and he was taken off the program.

I’m trying to find names of his colleagues that may have be civilian test pilots before the airplane was assigned to the Luftwaffe.

Many thanks – excellent story.
Andreas

The team in charge of Curiosity’s instruments and operations at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., had been working in shifts aligned with Martian time for the first 90 Mars days, or Sols, of the mission. Since the start of the Sol is always changing relative to Earth time, the team’s start time for daily planning had to be moved a few hours later each week.

I just got a call from a friend who was going through some old stuff in his mother’s house. Seems he has a bunch of blueprints and maintenance manuals for a PBY-1. Any interest in this?

This is amazing information, and what a priviledge to have been invited to see all that.

I work at the Museum as a Discovery Ambassador and we have this thing called “pick a plane” I picked the B-17 and I’m really confused now. I thought I had the write plane but now I don’t, I guess this just gives me a better story to tell on tours.
