| 3VI, e-mail, 25.08.2007 10:26 Why Canadair replaced turboprops with piston engines? I think turboprop is the best way to push a patrol aircraft longer. It's a nonsense... reply | | Marc Landry, e-mail, 27.01.2007 18:12 I am a former master navigator on the "Argus"; flew with RCAF 404 MP Squadron 1963-66.
I would very much like to acquire a dest model of the Canadair Argus.
Canyou inform me how to go about this? reply |
