Unique Cdn. bush plane sells for $700,000

An aluminum-bodied bush plane from the pioneering age of Canadian aviation — the only one of its kind in existence — was sold at a U.S. auction on the weekend for more than $700,000.
Described as "one of the rarest and most beautifully restored classic aircraft in the world," the 81-year-old Hamilton Metalplane once patrolled the forests and lakes of northern Ontario as part of a government mission to map and monitor the country's uncharted backwoods.
