Zlin Savage Cub (Asobo) - Official Buffalo Airways Virtual Substitute for the Fleet 80 Canuck - CF-DQJ Built in 1946 by the Fleet Aircraft Company. In 1995 CF-DQJ was purchased by the man, the myth, the legend, Buffalo Joe. In 2003 ownership was transfered to The Buffalo School of Aviation, the current registered owner. Fleet Aircraft was a Canadian manufacturer of aircraft from 1928 to 1957. In 1928, the board of Consolidated Aircraft decided to drop their light trainer aircraft and sold the rights to Brewster Aircraft. Reuben H. Fleet founded Fleet Aircraft in Fort Erie, Ontario, to acquire the foreign rights to these aircraft. Consolidated bought back Fleet Aircraft as a separate division in 1929 and formed Fleet Aircraft of Canada in 1930. The Fleet name was dropped for the Consolidated business name in 1939. Fleet Aircraft of Canada produced the Fleet Finch for the RCAF, and later the Fleet Canuck.
