An elevated view giving a good idea of the Museum of Flight's location in relation to Boeing Field and downtown Seattle.

Operated by Air Canada in the title of TCA. Built in Burbank in 1938, this a/c was rescued in the US and brought back to Canada where she was given a total rebuild prior to Expo 86 in Vancouver. Displayed in the WCAM.

Since this photo taken the aircraft has been moved to Abbotsford for a rebuild and then it is to be displayed at the Canadian Museum of Flight's main location at Langley.

The aircraft first flew 31 August 1955 and scrapped some time in August 1973.

Part of the Canadian Museum of Flight collection. This Lodestar was initially displayed at Surrey, BC, but when in 1996 the museum moved from there to Langley, BC, the aircraft ended up here, on temporary display. In Oct 2007 it was dismantled and trucked to Abbotsford, BC for a long-term cosmetic restoration by students of the University of the Fraser Valley Aerospace Centre, which was expected to take 15-20 years. When finished, the aircraft will join the rest of the museum's collection at Langley, BC, Canada. Note the Trans-Canada Air Lines - TCA logo on the nose.
