YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

If you're driving down a gravel road about 50 kilometres northeast of High River, Alta., a strange sight may catch your eye. It's a Fokker F28-1000 — a 65-seat passenger jet that took its last flight in 2002 — sitting on an acreage owned by aviation enthusiast Jesse Millington. It's part of a larger effort of honouring and preserving southern Alberta's aviation history.
