Retirement of Bill Tee
Bill has advised MDRA that he is officially retiring from the inspection program at the end of August, 2016.
Bill played a significant role in bringing to life, a program that has become the MDRA Inspection program as we know it today.
Bill was part of the initial cadre of delegated inspectors, having received his delegation, in 1986.
He has since performed over 200 final inspections and many more pre-cover inspections.
Bill, thank you for all these years, MDRA wishes, blue skies and tailwinds.
Retirement of Robert (Bob) Buchannon
Bob Buchannon, DABI, AIR-ABA and MD-RA Ontario Region has officially retired from the amateur built inspection program.
Bob was one of the first individuals to receive a delegation of authority for the Region of Ontario.
He received initial training in London, Ontario provided by the London TCCA office in 1987. OJT was provided and was issued his delegation in the same year of 1987.
Bob's first inspection was a Pre-cover on an all wood Piel Emeraude on November 5, 1987.
He continued to provide inspection services for 37 continuous years and performed his last inspection, that was a final inspection on an all-metal RV-14A, July 20, 2023. This inspection was Bob's 480th.
A recent and notable project assigned to Bob, was a "Own Design" 1/4 scale 4 engine C130 Hercules replica. The aircraft was issued a Special Certificate of Airworthiness-Amateur Built and successfully flown.
Many may not be aware of another passion of Bob's, he collected and restored numerous British Motorcycles from the 50 and 60's era.
Our thanks and sincere gratitude go out to Bob for his many years of service to amateur builders, amateur built movement and dedication to the amateur built inspection program through out its years of development.
Bob, we will miss you but will never forget your contributions to our industry!
All the best and Blue Sky's

Jaime and I had the pleasure to visit Pierre in Montreal while we were attending an amateur built inspection in 2022.
We enjoyed limited time and a great meal at one of Pierre's favourite restaurants. Pierre was very engaging and eager to welcome us to his city.
So glad we took the time to drive the extra kilometers.
I would extend our thanks and gratitude to Pierre, his family and friends on behalf of all involved within MD-RA Inspection Service.
He is missed.
Farwell my friend
Adieu mon ami
Sincerely
