"One of the finest homebuilts in Canada, handcrafted by Herman Peterson, one of Yukon's wartime bush pilots and maintenance engineers." Completed and first flew on July 15, 1967. "Suzy" logged a total of 191 hours, 50 minutes of flight time, last flown 3 July 2004 by Bob Cameron to the Museum.
Peterson was a wartime Yukon bush pilot and maintenance engineer who flew Northern Airlines Waco and Fairchild aircraft on both the Alcan and Canol projects. Yukon bush pilot Moe Grant credits Peterson with saving his life when his plane went down in February, 1950. Herman refused to give up the search in the mountainous area between Carcross and Atlin. Mr. Grant was found 2 days after the official search was called off. Though his feet had to be amputated due to frostbite, he survived and credited Herman personally for the rescue.
Herman died in October, 2004.
