Got them all except the VOLVO one! I will guess it has to something to do with our environment minister's new airline! 

VI must have been given a different quiz because I didn't see anything connected to Volvo. 

I couldn't get American Airlines. In all my years of seeing their livery I only ever noticed the tail and the name on the aft fuselage. Not once did i pick up in the eagle's head in the forward stripe. :Scratch-Head:

When I was stationed at CYOW we had a VIP Cosmo that required  a bifold door between two compartments. I was up doing a check ride on a newbee when ops called and asked if I would go to YUL and go Atlantic Aviation and pick up the bifold door which was now  shortend  about 4 inches to fit in the aircraft.

Went to YUL and kept the engines running and went and signed for the door and rushed out to the aircraft and placed it in the rear compartment and away we went back to YOW.

After we landed I went back and got the door which was wrapped in bubble plastic  and I  decided to take it to the Squadron Engineering officer as I had signed the bill for it, $1500.00 and did not want to be responsible if it was "lost" .

I had it over my shoulder and as I pushed it forward through the Engineering Officer's office door  I saw a amall yellow tag on one of the panels........Beaver Lumber   $82.95

I think there was an investigation,  but I never did hear the end result.

This is real. In 1990 a B-52 asked USS Ranger for permission for a flyby. The controllers approved. At 5 miles out they said they didn’t have the 52 visual and the pilot replied to look down…. Ah the good old days!!!!
