I just uploaded some more pics from my Ontario and Manitoba Experience two month ago on my flickr.com site. Please click "More Pictures / Mehr Fotos" on the right side of this page.

Also, yesterday I learned that the right Beaver on this Pic C-FNOT crashed only a few days ago, fortunately without fatalities but substantially damaging the plane ending up upside down in a forest.

I was actually trying to fly in one of these on the beautyful day when I took this picture at Red Lake, Ontario.

The final destination of my road trip: Red Lake, Ontario - the Norseman capital of the world. This one belongs to Viking Outposts and in front you can see Larry Mordens russian built Ural motorcycle and his dogs. Larry is a veteran Bush pilot with lots of storys to tell. By his own account he has been flying for a hundred years and literaly every type of bushplane - Beavers, Otters, Norsemans, DC-3s - and one of those even straight into an ADF antenna....  and survived!

Thanks Enid, JB and Larry for your time. And regarding flying in the Norseman I will not give up and try again next time!! 

Here in Ontario you can still find an amazing amount of active bushplanes. Most of them take fishing parties to remote outposts on lakes through out north-west Ontario such as this Beech 18 which here sits at its dock in Ear Falls, waiting for another load of fishermen..... and me!

I was lucky enough to fly on the right cockpit seat from here to Carrol lake, about 35min from its homebase and only accessible by air. What a great flight. Thank you so much, Eddie for making this possible ! A Dream came true.
