As Vintage Wings of Canada grew and changed, so did the Michael U. Potter Collection of historic aircraft. Like all operators of historic aircraft, Potter recognizes that he is merely a temporary steward of these wonderful objects that will continue to fly for decades to come. Sometimes it is better to let someone else care for them. Here are some of the aircraft that at one time or another were part of this unique and extraordinary collection.
