Here is the second 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 part 1 of 3, published on June 29th 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 second part, you will find the following: Ailes de Charlevoix Commander 500S C-GAYR, Propair C-310 C-GAFO, Voyageur Airways BE-10 C-GISH, Skycharter FA-20 C-GSKQ, SEBJ Convair 580, Québecair SA226-TC-MetroII C-GKFS, Nordair-Metro CV-580, Noranda Mines Gulfstream 1 C-FNOR, Government of Canada Challenger 601 for VIP, Cessna C-150 C-FRGC, Canadian Pacific B737-200 C-GNDM, Government of Québec FA-27 C-FPQI, Government of Canada GRC C-208 Caravan 1 C-FMPB, Normick-Perron helicopter Bell 206B C-GAKN, Beech Sierra BE-24 C-FZYD, Astar 350 Écureuil and Dighem, Air Dorval Westwind, Air Charters PA-31 C-GBMX, Air Canada DC-9.
