July 1 10:00am The Alberta Aviation Museum has arranged for Canada's Senior Astronaut "Chris Hadfield" to do a special presentation..."Pursue Your Dreams" geared to under 17 years old...admission waived for 17 years and younger so ALL can attend. Seating limited to 400 due to building restrictions

Like Vintage Aircraft...This starting Thursday...Discovery Air Hawk One F-86 returns to the Alberta Aviation Museum joined by the Vintage Wings of Canada "Yellow Wings" BCATP Training Aircraft Harvard, Cornell, Stearman...here to July 3rd. One more surprise in the works, if it comes together it will be announced shortly.

Glad you made it out there, Steve!

(I'm surprised you didn't need a float rating to get through the prairies!)

In preparation for Canada Day we have sitting on our tarmac
- Canadair CL-13 Sabre (North American F-86) Mk5/6 Vintage Wings/Discovery Air Hawk One
- North American P-51 Mustang Vintage Wings of Canada
- North American Harvard Vintage Wings of Canada

- Boeing Stearman Vintage Wings of Canada

Seems like a good way to start Canada's birthday tomorrow
