North Canada Air

North Canada Air was an airline in Canada which was acquired by Time Air .

Norcanair traced its ancestry to M&C Aviation, founded in 1930 by aviators Angus Campbell and Richmond Mayson. They soon moved their firm to Prince Albert, where it flew chartered flights into northern Saskatchewan. During the Second World War, M&C ran a large aircraft overhaul facility in Prince Albert.

Sold to the province's government in 1947, M&C was renamed Saskatchewan Government Airways. It was "privatized" in 1965.

Famous quotes containing the words north, canada and/or air:

“The Anglo-Saxon hive have extirpated Paganism from the greater part of the North American continent; but with it they have likewise extirpated the greater portion of the Red race. Civilization is gradually sweeping from the earth the lingering vestiges of Paganism, and at the same time the shrinking forms of its unhappy worshippers.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

“The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace

Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
Upon the forehead, furred
With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
