Thank You Bob Marquis!

Now that the sawdust has settled - literally - on Logger Sports, it's time to say

"Thank You!" to Bob Marquis and all the other volunteers who

made it the undoubted success that it was.

Pacific Coastal Airlines

 It says "Pacific Coastal" on her side, but her registration mark - C-GOIA - is attached to Connect Air of Lethbridge, AB,
so I'm assuming Pacific Coastal has only recently purchased her.

She is a Saab 340B, shown here on approach to the Powell River airport.
