Firkus Aircraft

It is with profound sadness that we share that our beloved dachshund, Max, has passed on. A favourite to all of those who visited the hangar, he was a sure-fire way to get a smile from anyone who came through the door. While his natural state was wrapped in a blanket or laying in a sunbeam, his favourite place to be was always with his people. Whether it was coming to work in the morning, a road trip in the truck, moving airplanes in the tug, waiting on the ramp, sharing the office chair or hanging out in the hangar after hours, it didn’t matter where in the world he was, as long as he had some of his favourite people (and snacks!). Thanks to all of you who made his life a little more special and took the time to say hello to him when you stopped by, it meant the world to us. He was an incredible light in our lives that we were so fortunate to be able to experience. He will be missed more than words can describe.

While we have a rolodex of photos of him that could probably sink a battle ship, if you snapped a photo or two of Max over the years, we would love to see your favourites.
