alright then, a few of me… first, 2004 in a boat north of Nha Trang headed for some off-shore relaxing and beer drinking, and second, this May taken at the Air Show Ottawa media launch – (i’m the goon in the middle – Michael Potter (Vintage Wings of Canada) on my left and Capt William ‘Fatty Daddy’ Raddiff (CF-18 Hornet demo pilot on my right) all flanked my the ASO executive. and lastly, a year ago at my ‘office’.

and the MILF is being tackled by the Philippines military together with significant US support.

levity/humour moment…

i’ve tackled a few MILF in my time… 😉 😀

…as you were.

I was contemplating a threat along these lines a few days ago…

Here’s one I did for Eurocopter Canada a few (probably 6) years ago in the most recent competition which the EH-101 finally won.

Contrailjj,
wouldnt that be something if he took that project on!

ohh to dream, eh? I’m just imagining the sight and sound of that beastie racing up and down the Ottawa Valley… and see CAM’s forlorn babe finally get some proper treatment as well… as far as I know, the lack of engines is the only thing that’s ‘prohibited/prevented’ work on her – they have the collectors and cowls – mind you, I haven’t seen the outer wing panels.

found one more interesting read…

The Man Who Flew Churchill… Bruce West (memoires/bio of Bill Vanderkloot)

Summer of ’93… at the ripe old age of 26

Fifteen minute in a Stearman over the Ottawa River for some sights and light aerobatics… what an experience – couldn’t get that silly grin off my face for days… gotta love the ‘rabbit ears’ for the pic – courtesy the CAM North Star

while trying to get back to airfield length requirements… I don’t know

Geneseo: Rwy 05/23, 4695 ft (grass)…

the Talichet ‘Memphis Belle’ operated there for this year’s show, and (personal POV) Yankee Air Force ‘Aluminum Overcast’ as well as the ‘Belle’ did as well in 2004… both without any degree of excessive runway use.

now, (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) any cancellation of the CWH Lanc from Geneseo this year would not be due to the airfield, but rather tech issues – again, as far as I have been led to believe, the CWH Lanc WILL NOT LAND anywhere other than Hamilton and (IIRC) will only display at shows no more than 2 hours flying time from Hamilton.

The Stinson replica built for ‘Riddle of the Stinson’ used to be at Air World in Wangarata – snapped a pic of her there back in 98.

Anyone think of the Tigermoth (IIRC) in ‘The English Patient’?
