                                   This evocative shot was taken by George Canciani at Rose Bay, Sydney in November of 2004. 
                                   VH-NOO was the former VH-IDI, a crop duster until 1997 when it became a sight seeing float-
                                   plane based in Sydney.     On 31 December 2017, VH-NOO crashed into the Hawkesbury
                                   River, after stalling at 200 feet following a water take-off.       The pilot, a Canadian citizen,
                                   had 9000 hours on Beavers.  He, along with the five passengers, tourists who had watched
                                   the New Years' display over Sydney Harbour, were sadly all killed
