This new work by Canadian artist Ross Buckland was recently exhibited at the 56th Peppertree Art Show in the Santa Ynez Valley in California. Measuring 20" x 30", this oil painting on stretched canvas depicts a current scene of the famous Noorduyn Norseman V banking through a pass on approach to another landing on a familiar fishing lake in the Yukon. Backed by a ring of mountains showing a summer snowcap, the Norseman exhibits it's handsome stature with summer float gear replacing the wintertime snow skis. On board are a party of fisherman enroute to a fishing lodge which opened in late May as the lake ice retreated, to be replaced by eager fishermen seeking their limits. Many of these superb fishing lakes can be reached only by air and the Norseman has long been a mainstay of Canadian and Alaskan bush pilots.
 
 
The rugged Canadian-built Norseman is a classic bush airplane of the north country. A tough, safe and versatile utility airplane, the Norseman was first flown in 1935 and has been a workhose ever since. The main version built by Noorduyn before WW2 was the Norseman IV; at least a hundred of the Montreal-built Norseman were used by the RCAF during the war as the main general light utility airplane. The Norseman remained in RCAF service until the mid-1950s when they were replaced by the DHC-3 Otter. A postwar version, the heavier Norseman V, as painted by Ross, was built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company who had obtained the rights to the Norseman in the Spring of 1946.

Hi Jules,

Below is the link to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton…this is where the DC-3 comes from. The plane was here for the Capital Wings and Wheels show at the Aviation Museum in Ottawa. I think I sent you the link for the event, right?

Members had a chance to ride on this DC-3. I chose the last of 3 flights. It seats 10 people and they had 6 seats that were empty! So…since it was the end of the show, the organizers and some volunteers of the Wartime Heritage Museum decided to hop on. Let’s just say that it was a fun flight!

http://www.warplane.com/pages/aircraft_dakota.html

This particular plane was built in 1939 and if you totaled the number of hours it logged, it would equal flying 9 years straight! 

Anyway, once the seatbelt sign was turned off, one of the organizers invited me into the flight deck!!! Can you believe it! It is really beautiful and I stood there in awe! The pilots were talking to me but gosh it was hard to hear!  I thought of that scene in the Bond movie Quantum of Solace when 007 was in a DC-3 with “Chickee Poo“ (forget her name…sorry, I was just paying attention to the plane…and Daniel Craig! Ha ha.) In the movie, they were flying and chatting along and there is NO background noise making things hard to hear. Movie—does not equal—reality!

Anyway, after our ½ hour flight around pretty downtown Ottawa, we landed and I got to hang around with “the guys” and listen to their stories! I loved that part! These men have so many interesting memories and they are proud to tell them.

I am still on cloud 9! I got to experience a piece of history…I am very thankful for that opportunity. I have wonderful pictures, video, and friendships to remind me.

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is having an Airshow this Saturday. I wish it wasn’t over 6 hours away for me! Darn.

Enjoy the pics and videos………..know that you were in my heart the whole time and I kept saying to myself—“Imagine if Jules was here!!!!”

Love you,

Giulia

Bye Bye Giulia........GREAT JOB!!!!!!
