Scott and Ryan left in one car, and Steve Tournay in another just a little while ago, bringing to an end the Ottawa WIX B-Flight.
We all had a great time. Wednesday night we sorted out the IDs off a number of aircraft featured in some slides that had been loaned to me. They were shots of various aircraft operated by Kenting in Canada, including B-17s, Hudsons and Cansos.
The largest number of people at the gathering occurred on Thursday at the museum. I believe it was our first tri-national WIX meet with James Kightly representing England, Scott and Ryan representing the U.S., and of course a number of Canadians. All had a great time. The best part was watching Ryan drool all over the B-24. I heard they are still cleaning it!
On Thursday evening Scott, Ryan, Steve, Catherine, and myself, bussed ourselves into the down-town and went to a concert on Parliament Hill including Tom Cochrane. That was fun! We were there with a huge number of jubilent Canadians, shoulder-to-shoulder, who also filled the streets around the hill. The concert ended with the start of the fireworks, which was an impressive display.
Friday morning we concluded the gathering with a chat on various topics at the Henniger Hilton.
Now I am trying to catch up on WIX.
Looking forward to seeing many of you a Geneseo!
Mike
