It was another great day of flying some of which was caught on this video shot by the local TV station. To bad they didn't stay around for the Harvards!

Wow, just checked out the website (nicely done by the way) at http://www.vintagewings.ca/page?s=63&lang=en-CA
Will have to check it out next time I'm out east... thanks for the heads up

I might get a chance to work on my photos today, but I shot more video than stills.

If anyone is planning to come to the last open house for this year (Setpember 1st) be sure to ask around for me. I'll be wearing one of the orange shirts. The next open house features fighters. We MAY even have a CF-188 on the ramp.
