Time Air's Convair C-FPWS beginning taxi in a photo that's total history now. The aircraft was withdrawn in 1991 and broken up by 2005. The Pacific Western tug and cart in the background would be Canadian Airlines by late 1986 and Edmonton City Centre Airport itself would close in 2013. Edmonton is developing the land into a new community known as Blatchford (the airport was first named for Winnipeg's mayor Kenneth Alexander Blatchford who helped develop it in 1927).
