CF-HPU  Grumman G-73 Mallard               (c/n  J-9)

                                          

                                                 Very few of the 59 Grumman Mallards built in 1947-50 were used by airlines.  Most were either
                                                 "aerial yatchs" for the wealthy, or corporate executive ships.     This aircraft was originally built
                                                 as N2946 and acquired by Pacific Western in 1960.     I believe this aircraft is still flying in the
                                                 US as N609SS.
