After having arrived in 1996 from Niagara Falls, New York, the new restoration crew could not help but comment on the superb job of restoration undertaken there. Noting that the Canadian Ministry of Transport has very strict rules regarding aircraft maintenance, repair and restoration, the documentation team put together a precise restoration tracking system. This system would ensure that all work done on the aircraft would be properly documented by Rick Rickards and assisted by Deryck Hickox. As the project began to move forward a restoration team of approximately 20 CWH members was assembled. The team, ranging from rookies to AMEs, quickly embraced the task of restoration. The first task was to verify and document the starboard wing. Every nut, bolt, washer, rivet, bushing and bearing was meticulously inspected to ensure they would meet the rigorous Canadian standards. As this was CWH 'S first segment of the restoration, progress was quite slow to start but quickly accelerated. By April, 1997, the crew assembled to see the starboard wing raised to position and installed. Crew members were ecstatic, to say the least.
