Life and times of DC-6B - CF-CZV. Malton's classiest DC-6's were the CPA DC-6B Empresses. These were almost daily Malton visitors into 1961, although CPA's Britannias were taking over. Seen on November 28, 1959 is CF-CZV "Empress of Suva". These long-range beauties ranged far and wide on CPA's routes from Vancouver to Hawaii, Fiji and New Zealand, down to Chile and across to Amsterdam. Anywhere that they wouldn't step on TCA's toes back in those deeply regulated Canadian airline days. Delivered new in August 1957, "CZV" served CPA into late 1961, when it was sold in Sweden.

Submitted by Hasse Marthinsen on February 29, 2020 to PWA reunion website at: C-GSPW a/c 783 - Still Flying for Air Inuit. This is our B737-275C C-GSPW a/c 783 now owned and still flying in Canada under the same registry for Air Inuit. This picture was taken the other day in YUL. It is the pride of the fleet. It still flies in a 'combi' configuration. It has been fitted with an EFIS system upgrade. Just great to see. I worked in YXD in 1967 for 2 years and the rest in YVR as a learner, mechanic, crew chief and supervisor in maintenance. |
