Jet Way Inc. alias Markair Transport.
K & C Corporation had acquired the aircraft for associated company Jet Way Inc., which was an executive jet operator flying Learjets as freighters out of Detroit's famous Willow Run Airport. Willow Run was a 'propliner mecca' at the time, home base of the large fleets of Zantop, Trans Continental and others which flew their aircraft in support of Detroit's automobile industry, flying in car components from plants all over the eastern United States and Canada to keep the huge assembly lines churning out Fords, Chevrolets, Chryslers and other notable American marques of the era.  |

 Retired aviation pioneer Dan McIvor, who lives near Vancouver International Airport, received the Order of Canada tor his foresight into fighting forest fires from the sky.He received letters of congratulations from some of the country's highest-ranking officials, including the Prime Minister since winning the Order in the summer of 2003. Born in 1911, the former PWA pilot knew from an early age that water bombers were the most logical line of attack. "When I was five years old, I was throwing stones in a lake, said Dan. "Suddenly, a big, yellow noisy thing rang overhead, and I shouted to my mom “What's that!?"' He learned it was an aircraft, and that it was on the lookout for forest fires. Later that day he told his sister that aircraft should be used to carry water and release it over fires. Editors' Note: Mr. McIvor passed away on February 24, 2005 at the age of 93.
