Holiday Trip Canada 11-9 till 26-9

Post by Kanarie »

Hi there,

During a very nice holiday in Canada, doing the Rockies from Vancouver to Calgary, some time was spent on spotting.

11-9-2008:
On 11-9 we left NL on board C-GPTS an A332 of Air Transat (TS931) for Vancouver.
First a small log from Schiphol

On 12-9-2008 some time was spent downtown after picking up our motorhome and moving it to an RV Campsite. The Harbour Heliport and Harbour Airport where passed by during the visit. Before we where picked up by the taxi to bring us to the motorhome rental, some landing planes where logged.

Today we moved to Vancouver Island. During the transit with the ferry, some Orca's where spotted. No stop was made at the Victoria Airport, but in the afternoon a first visit was made to downtown Victoria. There's a harbour airport as well.

After being warmed up by the Orca's yesterday, this was the day to pay them a visit in a somewhat smaller boat. This meant going to Vicotria Harbour again. During breakfast some landing floatplanes where logged from the campsite.

As we returned from our Orca trip (getting close within 1m with those Orca's), a CAF Sea King was noted doing some execises and when approaching the harbour the Sea King came in to some kind of heliport. In one of the hangars (which looked military) a tailboom was noted as well of a glossy black (Bell212/412???) helicopter.

Unforunately the weather changed from clear skies and 25 degrees Celsius to rain and 12 degrees Celsius. The journey continued and while approaching Calgary a "small" airfield was noted next to the road. As we where a little early some time could be spent at what turned out to be Springbank. After asking with some firms overther it was possible to visit some platforms as well as some hangars. Thanks guys. Pitty I couldn't stay any longer for a chat.
Also nice to see all 4 Twin Otters of the British Artic Survey having n overhaul here.

26-9-2008
The last day in Canada. After visiting some family in High River, some time was spent on Calgary airport before boarding the aircraft that brought us to Vancouver on the way to Canada for the flight home (TS950). On the way to High River the Military Museum was passed by.

Calgary
Two CF188s where noted at the other side, no possible to read from the terminal. I understood from Rob Sowald that there where three this day, one carying special marks (188761). For sure this special marking CF188 was seen (dark blue tail).

Regarind the Ground Procedures Trainer B732. This looked like a former Westjet airtcraft, but no id was found on the outside. Any help is appreciated.

Hope you all enjoyed reading my trip report. It was a very rewarding holiday not only concerning planes. I will for sure return some time in the future. If anyone has any info on the questionmarks, do not hesitate to contact me.

Grtz

Indeed, the trainer is a former Westjet aircraft. I haven't been able to find info on it since I pictured it in 2005, so I'm curious if someone knows...

Mystery DHC-6

Post by Basman »

Hi Arjen,

check this link, I found one of your missing Twotters. It's N927BA instead of N827BA....

Some Misteries uncovered

Post by Kanarie »

Dear Bas and Ab(T7),

Thanks for the updates.

Bas, due to the link you passed, more pics of Springbank have been found on that site and after investigating those and mine again, I now have some very nice additions for Springbank, although not complete aircraft and not likely to fly again.
N827BA should indeed read N927BA. Made the mistake to fully focus on 827 where 927 was very suitable as well.
RP-C1152, RP-C1153 and RP-C1155 those are the ones with the yellow and red. After checking my unsorted logs and the pics again, I found out there where three of those. These 3 Twotters did belong to Pacific Air.
Next to those Parts of the fuselage of C-FMOL (just behind the VP-FBC) a former Mobil Canada DHC6 and parts of the fuselage of PK-NUL a former Merpati DHC6 have been identified.

Once again thanks. Any one there who can help on the Unidentified Bell or Cessna from Kamloops or anyone who has info on civil movements for Calgary?

Hi Arjen,

glad to have been of help. And those Philipine DHC-6's are quite tasty, even if they're not going to fly again! I'd seen that there were some other pics of Springbank on that site but as duty called I figured that you would find them anyway, otherwise I would have gotten back to it tonight.
Regards,

Bas
