LUCKY, LUCKY me, whilst waiting for the better half outside Costco in Victoria today IT flew over 3 times at around 1500-2000 feet.
Gear was up and the Merlins sounded real sweet. Glad I didn’t need anything from the store.

Wasn’t there Harvard/AT-6’s used to strafe the train in “Von Ryan’s Express? dressed up as some kind of Luftwaffe bird?

Very nice to see Pacific Western in the air again. Always enjoyed flying with them.

Where oh where did this butchery happen? Looks like it could be part or near to some museum.

Abotsford airshow

Two episodes come to mind
1. late 60’s if my memory serves seeing the Vulcan at Abbotsford BC doing a full 360 turn inside the field perimeter. The ground shook.
2. almost a tragedy but luck was with evryone. Had a RCAF Voodoo in my binoculars when it flew through a flock of birds while entering a pull-up an cutting in the afterburner. Started a slow roll to the right, canopy blew off and both crew came out sideways, then a HUGE ball of fire. Crew were okay, one with very slight burns to the legs and probably quite soiled undies.
After talking to a RCAF member later that day I was called to the accident inquest. All very official.

can’t watch it

Hi, when I try to view the video I get a messgae that “the uploader has not given permission to view in the country I am in” (Canada) or something to that effect.
Never seen this before. Is it a TOP SECRET vidie?

Thanks

Warren

Video

Video opened just fine here in British Columbia.
Thank you allowing us to seeit fly.

the Canso

The Canso at around 4:07 looks to be the one near Tofino on Vancouver Island. Crashed on take off sometime in ’44 I think. Have to look up the RCAF numbers.
