Doug Keller sent the following in response to our request for more info regarding Air Caravane: From the excellent reference work by John Blatherwick, “A History of Airlines in Canada”; this book never lets you down and there was some information on this airline. Below is an excerpt from the book: Air Caravane / Air Cardinal: This Montreal based operator flew a fleet of DC-3's and two former Air Canada Viscounts in the 1970's and early 1980's. The fleet list shows two DC-3's operated by Air Caravane, CF-TAS (pictured in header) and CF-WIC, and two Viscounts operated by Air Cardinal, CF-TGZ and CF-THZ. Doug also did an internet search (reference airlinehistory.co.uk) of Air Cardinal and found that “Air Cardinal was renamed from Air Caravane (founded in 1973) in June 1981”. |
Narrowing down the complete fleet list could become quite a task! One of most frequent photograph contributors, Caz Caswell, sent in the photo below that shows a registration, CF-EEX, not listed above. As per www.airport-data.com, this C-47 was built in 1942. |
