At our local Naval Air Station museum in Tillamook. A 'mini guppy'...boeing 377 I think....

This one is not in Manitoba but in Ontario. My brother and I had a great ride this weekend, we went to Kenora and after headed south down Hwy 71 to Sioux Narrows and then East across to Fort Frances. Booked a room there and rode up north on the 502 to Dryden for supper and back to Fort Frances again. We got caught in some heavy rain on the way back to Winnipeg today but we managed to ride through it. A little scary but it was good experience none the less. 1,200 km in all.

Didn't have the bike with me, and they probably wouldn't let me bring it in even if I did!

Wingspan is 319 ft 11 inches!!!
