A four fold increase in the production of cherries in Washington State between 1999 and 2017 (26.5 million 20-pound boxes) is behind a major increase in the number of helicopters under contract to area growers to fan rainwater off maturing fruit to prevent splitting between May and August. This includes a remarkable fleet of about 15 Sikorsky S-55s operated by Golden Wings Aviation's Dave Smith (in 2016) and nine S-58s operated by VI 1 LLC based at Anderson Field in Brewster, WA and the nearby Monse heliport. This S-55 (ex 54-1422) and 14 others were re-registered to Sierra Aeronautics LLC of KY in 2021.

This 2002 Robinson R44 C-GTIL was photographed at the National Helicopters heliport Bolton, Ontario. At the time it was owned by Technisonic Industries Ltd. which develops aeronautical band VHF ground equipment and Special Mission Airborne RF and audio communications systems.

This hangar was constructed by Canadian Pacific Air Lines in the late 1950s to maintain its fleet of Bristol Britannia airliners. It was later used by Pacific Western Airlines, AirBC and the aviation campus of the British Columbia Institute of Technology, which was the tenant when this photo was taken in August 2008. The wartime Boeing Aircraft of Canada PBY Catalina factory was once located to the south (left) of this hangar until demolished in the mid-1970s. Boeing's wartime PBY flight test hangar located to the east is still used by companies like Pacific Coastal and Aeroflite/Harbour Air.

During the summer, the Generalitat de Catalunya contracts helicopters and single engine air tankers to fight wildfires throughout the region. Some of these are based at airports and others at heliports located at fire stations in rural areas. The Parc de Bombers de Manresa Heliport (located near the junction of highway C-55 and C-16C) was the base for two TAF AS350s in the summer of 2012. AS350B3 EC-JEA is seen here with external basket for carrying tools and a Canadian-made SEI Bambi bucket attached to its cargo hook for dropping water on wildfires.

This Airbus EC135P2, EC-KDA, was operated in 2012 by TAF Helicopters for the Generalitat de Catalunya from a heliport on the east side of Hospital Universitari de Girona Doctor Josep Trueta in Girona, Catalonia, Spain.

This former RCAF DHC-1 attended the 60th anniversary Chipmunk fly-in at Downsview Airport in Toronto staged by the Toronto Aerospace Museum in late May 2006, 60 years after the prototype flew at the same location on May 22, 1946. The aircraft is parked on the ramp outside the wartime DHC factory that built DH 82C Tiger Moths, Anson IIs and Mosquitos and the postwar Chipmunk, Beaver and Otter before a new DHC factory opened in Sep. 1954 to the south. This aircraft has been owned by Terri Garrison and Don Shackketon since July 1980 and is based at Oshawa Airport (YOO) east of Toronto.

The aircraft first flew in green primer paint and then blue and white Q400 markings until receiving this colour scheme. The aircraft was based at the Bombardier Flight Test Center in Wichita until Bombardier sold DHC in June 2019 and C-FJJA returned to Canada.

Construction of the Trans-Canada Airway system commended in 1933 as an unemployment relief scheme during the Depression that employed 6,000 men building a coast-to-coast network of airports in Canada to facilitate air services. Most of the airports were constructed at 50 mile intervals with Emsdale airport(CNA4) constructed on the airway between Toronto and North Bay, Ontario. The airport and hangar date from 1935. The Royal Norwegian Air Force used Emsdale as a relief airport when it moved its flight training school from Toronto Island Airport to Muskoka Airport (YQA) in 1942.

This Stinson 108 was imported to Canada in 1947 and owned by Andrew McLaurin when photographed at Emsdale Airport in June 2006

This 1941 Taylorcraft DC12-D was imported to Canada in 1969. It is was approved by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for an owner maintenance program which is signified by the "X" added to the type designation and serial which results in a special certificate of airworthiness. It was based at Emsdale Airport north of Huntsville, Ontario which was constructed in 1935 as part of the Trans-Canada Airway system to improve airport facilities across Canada and facilitate greater air service.

This Turbo Beaver was delivered new to the Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forests (now Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources on Jul, 25, 1966 and has been based at MNR hangar at Smoke Lake in Algonquin Park for at least the past 20 years, with a new seaplane ramp installed in 2017. The aircraft is maintained at the MNR hangar at Muskoka Airport and this is where the aircraft is converted to wheel/skis for winter operations on the frozen lake and snow. The aircraft is parked on the base helipad in this photo. The plane is used to fly Algonquin's park rangers to remote sites.
