Bob Munro , Reg Collins , and Jack Mines with Aeronca Model K on the ramp at Kenmore . This is only known photo of the three founders at the Kenmore Air Harbor site . The photo was believed to be taken by Ted Huntley , possibly on the day of the plane ’ s first flight .
The shingle mill site almost as Jack Mines found it . The Air Harbor has barely gotten started ; the abandoned shingle mill and log deck beside the dredged channel are still in place .
Bob Munro working on a company Taylorcraft . The T-crafts were dwarfed by the planes that came later , but Munro and his pilots flew the tiny machines to every corner of the Pacific Northwest raincoast .
Beaver Six-Six-Zulu on a glacier . Six-Six-Zulu was the second Beaver Kenmore Air purchased and quickly became Bob Munro ’ s favorite aircraft .
