History Biographical
Copyright Victor C Slingsby, Box 128, Wrentham. Permission for use must be obtained. Bob Reed, early Lethbridge aviation buff, thought the plane belonged to and was piloted by Ernie Boffa. Boffa carried a parachutist next to the fuselage on the back portion of the wing. When it was time for the parachutist to jump, Boffa lifted the tail of the plane so it would not foul the opening chute. The plane was supposedly a Green and Yellow Waco, CF-A01.
