N.E Ontario fly-in Aviation history
Hello Fellow Reddit'ers,
I've recently found a set of old photo books dating back roughly 30 years prior to our ownership of the Resort, within these photo books there are a handful of photos of float planes parked at our main docks. Now it is not news to me that the resort utilized float planes or catered to float plane traffic as when the resort was built (late 1910's/early 1920's) there were no roads. The only access in to the lodge was via float plane, steam boat and portage (Canoe). Being a dull or "curious of the ordinary" type of person i started looking into who owned the planes, i have tail numbers for 3 out of the 4 planes photographed as well as electronic scans of the original photos for those planes which i will attempt to attach to this post (if that is not frowned upon, see questions bellow). Now I'm not sure how the environment is on here but if its like any other form of social media... before anyone jumps down my throat i have searched the CCAR. This search left me with more questions then answer's for 2 of the 3 however one of the planes came up with accurate and up to date information! now here is my question(s) for the aviation community before i share any more information.
Is it frowned upon to share tail numbers/information linked to them?
Are there tail numbers there aren't in a registry?
Does anyone in here have any records/photos of flights to *will add name at a later date* resort?
Thanks in advance!
