Spit pics

Hi Charles
The Sabre was not part of the photo flight.
Mike told me on the phone that he would get me a copy of the video and if I get Mike’s permission, I will make you a copy.
I am in touch with one of the photographers and am presently getting Mike in touch with him directly or through me. I do know that Mike wants photos and will send me copies. I imagine that we will see some photos in magazines before too long.
Yes, you are lucky to have a Spitfire in your area. We had MK923 around here for 22 years and TE308 before that. Mike is very proud of his Spitfire now and loves flying her.
Cheers

Nice shot.

I know all this talk about the Ottawa Flight Fest and this fly-past might seem like small potatoes to some of you in the UK. But around here this is a MAJOR event! Please, never take your warbird scene for granted. You never know how good it is till you don’t have it anymore. That’s not to say Ottawa had one and lost it. Just that there are so few warbirds in the air around here, even just one is exciting.

So nice to see a shot of a Spitfire with some background scenery that I recognize. A few seconds after this was taken they were right over my house!

I wonder if they tried to get the Sabre to join in too?

Is the video they made a private thing, or might it be possible to get copies at some point?

Do you have any idea, Bob, who the other photographers were on board the B-25. I wonder if any other shots taken during the flypast will get posted on the web somewhere. DND? Media?

“Cracking good!”

Hi Daz
I thought that it was “cracking good” too.
BTW….That F/A 18 is called a CF-188 in Canada but most times we leave off the extra “8” and call it a CF-18. (And these guys thought I only knew Spits).

Cracking shot – even that F/A-18 can’t spoil it! 😉
