| Dick Dolman Kenai, AK | My first job was pushing air drop supplies out the door of a Noorduyn Norseman to firefighters on the State of Washington/Canadian border fire in 1947. I can still remember the smoke and heat as we flew low to assure hitting the drop zone. I was tethered to the inside of the plane to prevent me from sliding out with the cargo when the plane was banked in a forward slip to ease the pushing effort. The flights originated from the Intercity Airport between Twisp and Winthrop, Washington. The pilot as I recall was Don Moyer who, as a 12 year old kid, I idolized. My dad was also a pilot for the Forest Service at Intercity, flying an observer in an L-5. 10/24/2010 @ 15:51 [ref: 31648] |
| John Koenreich Paige, TX | I am looking for any information, especially photographs of a Norseman C-64 floatplane that was operated for many years by Bowman Airways out of their seaplane base in International Falls, MN. It was possibly sold in the late 1970's or early 80's. 09/05/2010 @ 09:17 [ref: 29775] |

| Orin Seybert Anchorage, AK | At the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in Anchorage we have a Norseman owned by Jim Magoffin, Interior Airways in Fairbanks. It is complete and intact, we just have to recover and restore it.
We need a set of landing gear shock struts for it. Any ideas on where we could buy/borrow/steal a set? Thanks, Orin Seybert (907) 243-7701 08/16/2006 @ 15:29 [ref: 13905] |
| Tim Garcia , IN | I am trying to find the color scheme or drawings or photos and any information on the uc-64 that carried Glenn Miller. I would appreciate reference information to help me accurately depict this aircraft in a 1/48 scale model. My search thus far has only found an alleged tail number, 44-70285. I need colors, paint scheme, etc. Please help if you can. Thanks... 07/09/2006 @ 08:46 [ref: 13687] |
| Arno van der Holst Lelystad, OTH | Hello Norseman friends!
We, The Dutch Aviation Museum 'Aviodrome' are restoring a Noorduyn Norseman (44-70509). We found wartime items in it, so we think it was used in France from early '45 to the end of the War. If you have any information about the use of the Norseman in France, please share it with us. Thanks and best regards, Arno van der Holst 06/18/2006 @ 06:22 [ref: 13540] |

| Thomas B Lynch Brattleboro, VT | After 34 combat missions as a B24 navigator I was assigned to the 320th at Honington as squadron navigator.I later lead the 320th to LeBourget in Paris where I remained until November 1944.
