Below is a photo dated April 6, 1986 that has Captain Bill Bredt (Maxine’s late husband), Reg Brewer, Aircraft Routing, the late Sam Gatelaro, Maintenance Supervisor and Dave Marleau, T & F Director. All retired from AC and helped start up Nationair. We used to go up to their hangar in Mirabel to do NDT work. It was like doing work on AC aircraft as almost all of the maintenance people were retired AC. It was like old home week. |
