Kyle Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 With the coming of the 100th anniversary of flight, I am curious what every one thinks has been Canada's best contribution to aviation. Anything, from aircraft to people (other then Louie ) to anything else that has to do with aviation. What's your opnion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hover-Pig Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 The Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame in Alberta is full of them, just great people is my number one pick however if I had to pick a machine it would have to be the bush planes, most notably the Norseman, Beaver, Otter and Twotter.

CTD Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Bush planes, and the folks who worked with them. The pioneering work of those who flew those Norsemen, Beavers, Otters, and Twotters, inspired everyone. Hats off to those who built, maintained, flew, and HIRED them. Close second - our helicopter industry has led the planet in ingenuity, vision, and skill, despite being overshadowed by the sheer numbers south of the border.

Charles W. Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Yeh, I'll go for the bush planes and pilots. And of course all those school teachers and nurses in the north who supported us. :up: The very reverend Chas W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
