danc Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Posted March 23, 2013 Having spent a year in the Norseman capital of the world, Red Lake, I fell in love with these things Wayne. They were my alarm clock every morning when they flew fishermen out every day at 5:30 am right outside my room window. I was fortunate enough to be there during the Norseman festival, which is the biggest weekend of the year in Red Lake. I think that there was 15 of the 29 in existance there (2010). My only regret was not going for a flight in one of these. I had my chances too. Since there's at least two Norseman fans here, more photos. The building with the overhang under the left wing (right side of the photo) was where I lived.
Old Man Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Great shots of some old workhorses. Between them, the Bellanca's and various de Havillands, they pretty much opened up the north. Thanks for sharing. Edited March 23, 2013 by Old Man
