Built for Robin (Red) Morris record breaking, non-stop trans-Canada flight in 1978. The trans-Canada flight was flown from west to east to take advantage of prevailing winds, which meant that the flight over the Rockies in the west would have to be tackled when the CH-300 weighed its heaviest. Despite strong headwinds near the Manitoba-Ontario border and the loss of the electrical generator, the 4,500-km (2,800-mile) flight was completed in the time of 22 hours, 43 minutes and 43 seconds - credit to Canada Aviation Museum website
