Back in 1989, during an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation entitled Up the Long Ladder, when Captain Jean-Luc Picard, a Frenchman with a British accent (!! – Hello, EG!), walked into a cargo bay aboard the starship Enterprise to investigate a fire set by a group of lost colonists he had picked up, Patrick Stewart allegedly found the dialogue so hilarious that he began to laugh, albeit not too loudly. He actually turned his back to the camera to hide this lapse in concentration. When

The first Douglas DC-3 airliner delivered to Trans-Canada Air Lines, Montreal (Dorval) Airport, Dorval, Québec, circa 1945-48. CASM, negative number 25515

Hail, my reading friend. Eager as always to bring you news of the wonderful world of aviation, yours truly would like to remind you that, in September 1945, Trans-Canada Air Lines (TCA), today’s Air Canada Incorporated, received its very first example of one of the most famous airliners of the 20th century, the Douglas DC-3. This outstandingly significant aircraft of national importance is presently on display at the awesome Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario. And yes, TCA was

The first Fleet Model 80 Canuck light / private airplane, Fort Erie, Ontario, March 1946. This aircraft belonged to Sturgeon Air Services Limited of Fredericton, New Brunswick. CASM, negative number KM-07962

Let’s be original and daring today, my reading friend. Would you like to take a look at one of the aircraft in the prodigious collection of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario? No? Let me respectfully reject your reality and substitute my own. And yes, yours truly was paraphrasing Adam Whitney Savage. This co-host of the very popular Australian American (!) television series MythBusters presumably heard this sentence in the 1984 American fantasy / horror / science fiction

Hello again, my reading friend whose health and well-being concerns me. How are you? Would you by any chance be ready to take up the thread of our overview of the activities of Zenair Limited, one of the giants in the design of homebuilt aircraft in Canada, if not North America? Wunderbar. A Colombian firm founded by a gentleman mentioned in the first part of this article, Máximo “Max” Tedesco, in 1971, Agrocopteros Limitada, assembled 10 or so kits of Zenair homebuilt aircraft in the early

Christophe Jean Heintz at the controls of the Heintz Zenith. Anon., “–.” Aviation magazine international, 15 to 31 August 1970, cover.

Hello, my reading friend, hello. Yours truly would like to touch on this day the history of one of the giants in the design of homebuilt aircraft in Canada, if not North America. I will do this through a photograph which adorned the cover of the 15 to 31 August 1970 issue of an excellent French biweekly magazine which has since disappeared, Aviation magazine international. This story had its origins in a decision taken in France in the early 1970s. This being said (typed?), yours truly prefers

Greetings and salutations, my reading friend. Would it be alright with you if this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee dealt with an aircraft which can be found in the amazingly impressive collection of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, rather than with a photograph found in a periodical? Our topic would still be anniversarial in nature, of course. Yours truly does not wish your hamster to fall off its wheel. Are we ready? Wunderbar. While the Second World War was

The one and only Cushioncraft CC1, initially known as the Britten-Norman BN-1 Cushioncraft / CC1 Cushioncraft. Anon., “News Digest – New Cushion-rider.” Canadian Aviation, August 1960, 46.

How are you doing on this day, my reading friend? Yours truly has a confession to make: there is more to life than airplanes – and I have to thank a former colleague for pointing this out, many years ago. (Hello, CF!) A list of items covered in this non aeronautical category would be very long. Any list worthy of the name should, however, include Belgian style beer, and no, not a serrano pepper infused one, dinosaurs and pterosaurs (Hello, SB, EG and EP!), as well as air cushion vehicles. In

Hello there, my reading friend. Would it be alright with you, my dear reading friend, if this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee dealt with an aircraft, rather than a photograph found in a periodical? Our topic would still be anniversarial in nature, of course. Yours truly would never chop off all of your moorings at once. Our story began in the United States, in around 1919, when an aeronautical engineer born in November 1895, Vincent Justus Burnelli, came up with the idea of shaping the
