Here is the third group of aircraft photos taken at the Rouyn-Noranda airport (CYUY) during 1986-1988, while I was working as a flight service specialist (FSS). Those are not fancy pictures but they nonetheless provide a representative sample of what was flying over the Abitibi region during those years. As such, they are part of the Quebec Province aviation history. You have possibly discovered some company names and colours already in the last two aviation photography documents published on June 29th and July 11 th 2015.
I took those photos with an old Pentax KX, using Kodachrome film. Many types and categories of aircrafts and helicopters are included: private, commercial, corporate, government, etc. I am convinced that some pictures will bring back memories to older pilots.
In this third and final group of photos, you will find: Québecair Convair, Noranda Mines Lear 25 C-GZIM, Propair Hugues 500D C-GDFF, Mitsubishi MU-2 C-GAUR, Transport Canada DHC-8-102 C-GCFJ, Government of Canada CP-140 Aurora, Cessna C-425 Conquest 1 C-GLAD, Hugues 300 C-GBUM, Cessna C-210 C-GVYD, Inter-Canadien Fokker F-28-1000 C-GQBR, Viking Bell 212 C-GFQN, Air Creebec C-402, Hélico Mont-Laurier Enstrom C-GNUZ, Kelner Airways C028B Caravan 1 C-FKAL, Cessna C-172 C-GUCU, Nordic Bell 206l C-FARV, Cessna C-172 C-FBOI, Cessna C-175 C-FKVE, Scout Chief C-FXGS, Noranda Mines Beech 300 C-GPKP, Québec Aviation Commander 840 C-GPVE, Piper PA-32-300 C-GBRZ, Piper Cherokee 140E C-FTVV.
