New landmark takes off in Buckland
After ten days of restoration work, a minor delay due to an ice storm and a final high-stress installation involving multiple pieces of machinery, Highway 3 just west of Prince Albert has a new landmark.
Over the course of around three hours on Friday, Doug Sand and his team hoisted a 2,000 lb 1947 Sea Bee aircraft onto a pole overlooking the roadway and secured it to a semi trailer axel, which allows it to turn in the wind.
