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!!
