BE 33:54 Okay, my name's Bob Elvis. EA 33:55 And tell me where you're from. BE 33:57 Calgary. Pilot with Ken Bork here. Captain of one of the airplanes that you were on going to the Pole. EA 34:02 What kind of airplane was that? BE 34:03 That was a twin auder, built in 19, I think this one was 73. It's an older one, but well-kept. EA 34:08 What's the deal with those planes?

My dad was in an occupation with the government of Saskatchewan where he was involved in forest fires and wildlife and we spent a lot of time as kids in helicopters and airplanes and it's been a fascination of mine ever since I was a kid so that's one of two things, I either wanted to be a pilot or a RCMP. Pilot won. EA 35:19 But you're not, you know, one of these guys who wears the uniform and sits on a big TWA jet. I mean, you're doing something completely different.
