Here is a pic of me at the Niagara Falls Airshow 2009.
With me is Fern Villeneuve. He is an inductee in the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame.
Fern is the original "Hawk #1" , the Flight Leader for the famed RCAF F-86 Sabre Aerobatic Dipsplay Team Team "The Golden Hawks"
He is 82 still flies vintage bi-planes with us ( The Tigerboys) and is our formation flying mentor

Cool. Actually it looks like you've mispelled and he spells his last name the same as the racers Gilles and Jacques Villeneuve. Wonder if he's a relative.

whoops! You're right ...my typo mistake.
No he is not related.
Thanks for pointing that out
