Time in Kenora
Will started his flying career in Kenora, in northwestern Ontario, flying guests in to fly-in fishing lodges among other things. Do you know how well they treat the pilot who brings their guests? Really well! Notice the canoe strapped to the pontoon of the float plane.
This was the dock where Kenora Air Services was based. I can easily picture Will spending time here.
He must have liked these sunset pictures of planes, and I think it's a great photograph.
While there Will was sent for a summer or two up into the North-West Territories. This is a view of the landscape up there, with smoke from distant forest fires rolling in. Tomorrow some more pix from the NWT.

Stunning captures. Will was talented on many levels it appears. A tribute to you and your wife's parentage.
ReplyDeleteYes, pilots love photos of their airplanes. Nice shot of an old Beaver.
ReplyDeleteI agree that is a great photo of the sunset aircraft.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful sunset with the airplane.
ReplyDeleteI love how you're posting photos that your son took. What a great way to pay tribute to his memory!
ReplyDeleteWhat fine pictures Will captured. Thank you so much for sharing them with me. I look forward to seeing more of them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful settings for the photos. My hubby has been on one of those fly-ins to places where no one goes.
ReplyDeleteWill was a really great photographer! I'm enjoying seeing his perspective of the planes and the landscape he flew over and the places he visited. Thank you for sharing these with us. It must be heartbreaking, in a way, for you but also a bit therapeutic to have his photos in your collection and to share them. Blessings. Pam
