The Norseman CF-FQI still Flying

Peter and Paul Dillon bought our Norseman and they are using it just as it was built for. They are rebuilding a lodge on Moar Lake, Manitioba. Lots of work, lots of hauling, and FQI is up for the job.

Hi Enid,

The Kubota tractor was a must - have for the reconstruction project we have ahead of us and its pretty move friendly. It took about a day to break it down , moved it in two loads ,and a day to put it back together. After years of lift,load,carry, drag it puts a pretty big smile on your face.

I will keep you updated on on FQI.....its a airplane thats pretty easy to fall in love with and I am sure you miss it.

Best Regards
Paul Dillon

Oh YES, I am jealous, Viking Island could use one of those!

This past winter, CF-FQI has been stripped down to bare tubing. It will reimerge with new skins, new engine and maybe a new colour scheme... ready to fly and work again.

The Norseman, a war bird, still flying.
