around this waterborne Warhawk is more suggestive of Alaska than anything in the

Good point about the scenery

"The second picture is the airplane arriving at Salt Spring
Island, British Columbia, Canada after being purchased (towed
from Pat Bay Air Station to Salt Spring Island by a fishing
boat while on a raft of logs!). The rest of the pictures show
how she looks today back at Pat Bay Airport, Sidney, British
Columbia."
