I took the week off from work. Catherine was busy, so this day was a perfect day for a mini road trip. I had not visited CFB Petawawa before. I knew there was a CH-136 and C-47 displayed at this Canadian Forces Base, but what I didn't know was there were a number of tanks, trunks and artilery displayed as well. Although a little off-topic (non-aviation), they were a pleasant surprise!

In the future if you are looking for this photo album, and others in my
travelogue, I suggest you visit...

Enjoy!

I visited CFB Petawawa back in August 2003; somewhere I have those pix but by now, you have your own photos, right?

Have you been to North Bay, ONT?

Saludos,
