N78691 Update
As noted last spring, Norseman N78691 was sold and ferried to Alaska for a new career with Renfro’s Alaskan Adventures out of Bethel in the western part of that state. Well, serial 637 has finally been converted to floats and flew from Lake Hood, Anchorage to Bethel at the end of August to become the only commercially operated Norseman outside of Canada. Certainly an interesting paint scheme on the airplane with gold coloured metal parts and burgundy fabric. If you like it, that’s one good looking, panoramic windowed, moose haul’in Norseman!
Note absence of rear ladders to aft doors. This likely will be changed when time permits. Photo credits – Lambert de Gavere.
