Had a great season display-opener on Sunday. Flew the VWC P-40, and linked up with the CWH Canso.

We admired each other on a fine spring day.

We threaded the gap between the Parliament buildings and the PM's house. I guess we violated no airspace, since no CF18s appeared, and I was not called upon to take up my fighter-escort duties.

The occasion was to commemorate the Battle of the Atlantic and it's veterans.

This was taken during a formation change, and captured Parliament Hill below.

At least that's the official reason. It's a good one, and I'm honoured to be a part of it. But the other reason was that it was my daughter's birthday, and she snugged into the back seat of the Kittyhawk.

Very cool all round. I do like Ottawa from the air, and with the Kittyhawk above, better still, eh?

Thanks, and yes, it was a great thing to be able to share with so many people.

Also, it was good practice for our Formation Camp this weekend. We expect to have a ramp full of airplanes and people.
