I didn't realize Sierra-Pathetic was still in business


Yep. One of those "background" companies that never really went away. Still got a pair of 737-200's.

Nice pics taken Saturday of the Military Aviation Museum's Stearman N-2S taken from one of our guests who was riding in the DH-89 Dragon Rapide.

Two Nanchangs and a T-34. They weren't quite as close together as they appear to be from this angle, though. :shock:

LOL Lynn! No, I had a setting messed up and was quite disappointed by the pictures. And no, the big day is the 11th. :wink:

The airport is 17TE - Comfort Airpark and I take students there on a semi-regular basis to learn about various things.

Grumpy just passed overhead going to Abbotsford for the airshow there this weekend. Don't know if the SPITFIRE is there yet or not.

I didn't see/hear that (and know nothing about the Spit) but I did just see a B-52 just fly over Dad's house on it's way to the same show!!!
In between the Studebaker events this weekend-
I'm gonna have to run for the border and check out what I can from the fence... pop2

Didn't see them as such (as their runnings lights were apparently on IR), but 2 or 3 C-130s went over my house a few times last night at varying altitudes. One time it felt like they were going to come through my front door. Every other year or so, there's a Herk unit that must be doing night quals by going up the glacial valley we live in.
It doesn't big me all that much because I can sleep through it if they come after I've gone to bed (and besides, it's the sound of freedom), but it drives my wife bonkers and confuses my dachshund something awful...
