CELEBRATING THE NORSEMAN FESTIVAL
Take a trip back to the first Norseman Festival in 1992. Events include the Norseman Fly-by, Float Pumping and Floatplane Loading competitions.
On June 28th, 1992, CF-DRD powered up for it’s last ride, crossing Howey Bay in Red Lake and returning to the maintenance base where it was recently overhauled. Shortly after, it was mounted on a pedestal in the new Norseman Park. It continues to be the symbol of Red Lake, and a nod to our rich aviation history. This is a home video of that day. We hope friends, pilots, Red Lakers, and Norseman enthusiasts might enjoy the nostalgia of these clips.
