CF-ETE Douglas
DC-3CS1C3G
(c/n 12005)
The T. Eaton
Company was to Canada, what Sears Roebuck were to the United States.
At one time Canada's
largest retailer, they owned several aircraft. This DC-3 was one
of
them. Others were a
were a Lodestar CF-ETC and a Goose CF-ETJ. This shot was taken
by the late Peter R.
Keating and my print, unfortunately, is rather scratchy. This
aircraft was
a former C-47A-1-DK (
42-92228), RAF FL596. John
Berto provides the nice color
shot below taken by his father, Ben at Mount Hope, Ontario in the
spring of 1975 whilst
CF-ETE was serving with
Northland Air. This DC-3 was later sold in the US as N62WS,
and
was written off on the Costa Rica/Nicaragua border on 26 March
2004. (Don't even
ask!).
