In the July issue of Downhome, Dennis Flynn profiles Captain Roger Penney, who flew the Canso 704, a water bomber, into St. Anthony Harbour for its final flight in August 2007. The airplane is now part of a memorial park in the town, dedicated to Captain Ronald Penny and pilot Yannick Dutin, who lost their lives fighting a forest fire in the Bay St. George area in a similar plane.
