The real McCoy - It's not every air operator that can boast a multi-million film blockbuster as its namesake; though we are promised there is absolutely no connection between Hollywood's latest action-fest, Con Air, and the genuine article, Conair, Canada's premier firefighting outfit. Not that the British Columbia-based company really needs the publicity, as Mike Reyno discovers

Peter R. Foster captures the action
