Miss Charlie is going in for surgery tomorrow to remove a large mass from her side. Originally thought to be fat, but the vet is now concerned since it has hardened. From the initial sample it doesn’t appear to be cancer. #pet #dog #vizsla

This 737 came into service in 1979 with PWA in Edmonton. It was retired from Air Canada’s service in 2005. The aircraft became part of an exhibit at the Alberta Aviation Museum. In 2013, the aircraft was flown to Villeneuve where it now sits. #abandoned #Alberta #yeg #history #plane #airplane
