Jodel D.9 Bébé

08/31/2012. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "CF-PFB was the first Jodel D.9 Bébé (Baby) to be built and flown in Saskatchewan. Homebuilder Rem Walker of Estevan obtained plans, wood, and fitting material from Falconar Aircraft in Edmonton, Alberta; construction was started on December 22, 1959. The aircraft was registered on August 7, 1963, and the first flight was made on August 22, 1963; power plant was a 65 hp Continental A65-8. The registration was cancelled on April 7, 1995, and presently the aircraft is on display at the Western Development Museum at Moose Jaw."
