Plane Type: Noorduyn Norseman

The rugged Canadian-built Norseman is a classic bush airplane of the north country. A tough, safe and versatile utility airplane, the Norseman was first flown in 1935 and has been a workhorse ever since. The main version built by Noorduyn before WW2 was the Norseman IV; at least a hundred of the Montreal-built Norseman were used by the RCAF during the war as the main general light utility airplane. The Norseman remained in RCAF service until the mid-1950s when they were replaced by the DHC-3 Otter. A postwar version, the heavier Norseman V was built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company who had obtained the rights to the Norseman in the Spring of 1946. The Norseman has long been a mainstay of Canadian and Alaskan bush pilots. PLANE JUNKIE - Yukon Spring by John Young (Secondary Market Print)
