The aircraft is not listed for most of the logbook, until June 22, when the type of aircraft listed is the Eaglerock A-1, G-CAUZ.
The G-CAUZ replaced the Queen of the Yukon which crashed May 5th, 1928 and was wrecked, as a new Ryan could not be purchased on such short notice. The Alexander Eaglerock was an open-cockpit, 3 passenger plane. Christened the "Northern Light", the aircraft lasted 13 months with Yukon Airways and Exploration Company Limited, before being wrecked in a crash at Coalmine Lake near Carmacks on November 29, 1929.
John M. Patterson joined Yukon Airways in 1928 when he ferried the "Northern Light" from Colorado to Mayo and stayed to fly the aircraft until delivery could be taken of the second Ryan.
Patterson died on November 2, 1929 in the crash of the Queen of the Yukon II at age 22. He was the first aviation fatality in the Yukon.
