With his vision of a grand air service operating across Canada and extending to the Orient, Grant McConachie flies the giant Ford Trimotor of United Air Transport north to Whitehorse. Much to the consternation of the established operators in the Yukon, this venture of 1937 was another struggling, yet successful effort to build what would eventually become one of the most respected airlines in the world.. Canadian Pacific. Sadly, this historic aircraft was relegated to landfill and lies crushed and buried beneath the Whitehorse airport.
