North Shore Airways would operate successfully with CF-AVI and Fox Moth CF-ATX ferrying freight and passengers in support of the pulp and paper industry in the St. Lawrence region. Fox Moth CF-ATX was passed to Bruce in 1938, and CF-AVI was destroyed by a tornado on the night of January 13, 1941, when it was torn from its moorings in the Godbout River in a storm and washed over the dam at Godbout, Côte-Nord, Quebec.
The loss of CF-AVI spelled the end of North Shore Airways. Howard and Bruce would go on to fly with Ferry Command and Transport Command during the Second World War
Godbout is a village municipality in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada. It is located at the mouth of the Godbout River on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River.
