This strategic Fort Saint John airport location was opened 1943, built by the US Army in conjunction with the Alaska Highway. At the cross roads for Canadian Pacific Airlines / CP Air flights in BC, Alberta and the Yukon, three 737s (from right to left - C-FCPB, C-GCPM and C-FCPE) are pictured in front of the airport's old control tower. Replaced by the newly built tower and now empty, it would later be pulled down and carted away.
