In Alaska as in other places the Norseman seems to
have
an early history followed by an absence and then a modern
history.
If you have any Norseman photos from Alaska please email them to me so
I can include them here. Thanks Bill

The photo at the left was sent by Don Hulshizer. Don wrote: I must have 1000 hours in a Norseman, I never added it up. I flew for Wien Alaska Airline for 23 years and other local airlines after that. I am 82 now. My last job was co pilot on a C-46 hauling fuel oil to miners and natives until I was 74. |

A present day Norseman in Alaska I belive this is the famous Norseman imortalized as a model, CF-GUE that was with Northway Aviation in Manitoba for many years. |

Hi
My name is Sherry Dillon, and I live in Alaska. We used to own a Norseman, and the whole family loved it. We used it in our guide business. We sold it years ago, but still have lots of airplane parts, many that still have factory tags. It is so hard to find a way to connect with Norseman owners, but it seems you might know a way, or know someone that rebuilds them, or any connection at all. I can't seem to find even a chatroom or club.
I know parts are hard to come by, and these are just sitting in my garage. If you know of any connection, please feel free to pass along my email or phone number.
If this is not something you are interested in, just delete me. I'm just taking a shot in the dark because I saw your website and see that you love these planes as much as we do.
Thanks,
Kevin and Sherry Dillon
