Winter Warbirding, Canadian Style

[AIRIC]

Cabin fever had set in so I met Cam (Fleet16b) and Bruce from the Tiger Boys at the Guelph Airpark today. Other then the –5C temperature the conditions were perfect to wake up the ole Kinner engine.







Cam dressed for the day


Cam heads for the gas pump and checks out the handling on the snow covered surface


The day was flawless and with a gentle wind straight down the runway Cam went flying.










I think we all feel a little better today after having some much needed warbird fun.

Great shots of a superb day, Eric. I was out snowshoeing, but I would have rather been Finching!

The Fleet Aircraft company was and is located in Fort Erie Ontario Canada,
It is now Fleet Aerospace.
The original building where the Fleets were built is still there but the factory has expanded all around it.
