Ken Starnes sent us several photos of his recent visit to The KF Centre of Excellence at Kelowna International Airport (YLW). Located at 5800 LaPointe Drive, it is shaped like a fuselage and the wings of an aircraft. The centre sprawls 60,000 sq ft and is estimated to reduce carbon by 1,753 metric tonnes. Folding glass hangar doors make a 115‘ clear span to allow aircraft such as the Convair CV 580 and the DC-3 to enter the hangars. It was the dream of Barry LaPointe 52 years ago; twenty-four year old Barry had $7,000 in his pocket and a dream. On March 25, 2021 ground was broken for the future site of KF Centre for Excellence. KF Aerospace is now the leading aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul company in Canada. Below are a few selected photos of the De Havilland 98 Mosquito B Mark 35. |
