Summer is almost gone and this is time to reflect on activities done during the last months. A lot happened: B-29, Large format scanner, new location for our operations, an airshow and a new web site.

July:

The CAF and Fifi stopped during almost one week at St-Hubert and were parked near our C-47. The contrast between our old lady, beaten by 25 years of neglect and the rutilant and perfectly restored B-29 was striking. It was the opportunity for us to have between 500 and 750 persons who visited our aircraft and learned about our activities.
We learned a lot from this experience and despite we know we have a lot to improve, these days were definitely a success. 
Our C-47 was built in 1944 but the DC-3 design is from the mid 30's . The B-29 was designed during the 40's and the technology gap between these two legends showed how aviation progressed during these years. 

August:

Last february, we recovered more than 12000 blueprints from Douglas and Canadair covering the C-47/DC-3 and the DC-4. One challenge was to share them online as they are most of them 24" or 36" width. We acquired a 36 inches color scanner and around 1000 blueprints are already scanned. They should start to appear on the site in November this year.

September:

Library and site: After a lot of delays, Avialogs.aero is finally online, the main library is converted as you read these lines and should be totally online within the new site before the end of the year. we started our fund raising campaign for 2018 . We can reach your goals without your help

Air show: We were present during the Aero Gatineau Air Show, thank you to all who visited us.

Aircraft: we stopped all work as we are planning to move our Dakota to a new airport, stay tuned !
