Planes, stories, and a near accident in Canada AM report
Freelance producer David Browning of CTV Canada AM planned a segment on Carman aviation expert Bob Diemert and witnessed his amphibious plane fail when a nose wheel seized. Diemert restores planes like Zeros and Hurricanes, even repairing Browning’s craft to continue toward Yellowknife for a bush pilot wife feature. Meanwhile five year old Joey Melnyk fell into Victoria Park water during a park outing as nearby Winnipeg families picnicked en route to Edmonton.
