C-FPHZ - de Havilland DH-82 Thruxton Jackaroo - TIGER BOYS
at Kitchener-Waterloo Regional Airport (YKF)
C-FPHZ is one of the rarest aircraft in the world. “T.J.” started life in 1937 as a De Havilland DH82A (British) Tiger Moth and served as an RAF trainer until the start of the Second World War. The airplane was reportedly in France at the start of hostilities and fled back to England just ahead of the advancing German forces - which makes this one of the very few flying aircraft still in existence that actually saw combat during WW2. "TJ" was used as a training and liason aircraft throughout the Second World War, but after VE day, the plane ended up in storage. In 1958, a group of enthusiasts at Thruxton Aerodrome decided to convert some of the numerous war surplus Tiger Moths into four seat aircraft and the resulting aeroplane was named “The Thruxton Jackaroo.” Some 16 examples were built as well as a variant named the Rollason Jackaroo.
“TJ” was originally converted into a “Jackaroo Crop Duster” for “Colchester Airspray” in England. Owner Brian Witty brought the plane with him to Canada, then sold it to pilots Glenn Norman & Michelle Goodeve. The couple created a “Trans-Continental Air Dash” for old aeroplanes in 1972 and flew the Jackaroo from Mountain View Air Force Base (near Belleville,) to Delta Air Park (just south of Vancouver) on the Pacific Ocean
Later that year, the aircraft was sold to an American collector who promised to restore the aircraft - but when Norman & Goodeve learned the Jackaroo was to be parted out, they contacted their friends Frank Evans & Tom Dietrich - better known as “The Tiger Boys” - and asked if they could help save TJ from the scrap heap. The Tiger Boys purchased the aircraft just THREE DAYS before it was scheduled to be cut apart - then took seven years to restore the aircraft to its current mint condition.
Today, there are only three airworthy Jackaroos in the world - A Rollason Jackaroo in England, a Thruxton Jackaroo in Australia, and the Thruxton Jackaroo you see here today now owned by Tiger Boys Tom and Bob and their partner, Steve Gray.

C-FORT - Fleet 60K - Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
built in 1940 - at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
The Fleet Fort Model 60K was the only aircraft designed and built by Canadians in World War II. The rest of the aeroplanes produced in this country were constructed under license. The Fort was also the first all-metal monoplane built by Fleet Aircraft of Canada (Fort Erie); and it was intended as a cheaper version of the Harvard, also an intermediate trainer. The Fort's maiden flight occurred in 1940, and the RCAF took an additional 100 on strength in 1941.
performing during the 2012 Hamilton Air Show
Initially, the RCAF did not want to order the Model 60K, and their doubts proved valid. The Fort was relatively easy for pilot trainees to master, thereby making it unsuitable for transition to combat aircraft (e.g., Hawker Hurricane). Also, the RCAF decided that pilots who had soloed in Finches and Tiger Moths could proceed to Harvards without training on Forts. The Forts were then used to train wireless operators until the last Model 60K was retired in 1946.
The CWH Fort was the prototype that was employed by the National Research Council Test and Development Establishment until it was assigned to 2 Wireless School in 1942. The Museum acquired this aircraft in 1979. The following year, Fleet Aerospace, having just rebuilt the Cornell, volunteered to return the Fort to airworthy status. It is the only example of this type, world-wide, to still fly.

Canada 3000 competed with Air Canada, WestJet, and charter operator Air Transat. In November 2001, the airline went out of business after a sharp decline in revenues following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.

Once we're out the door, we are on a mission and he get annoyed when we deviate from the route!

The Cummins diesel/generator set installation was very workmanlike. Cut a couple holes in the side for air, remove some grilling; good enough!
