Last Saturday the wife of my youth (and today) celebrated our 28th anniversary. "We" celebrated it by attending the Classic Air Rally (she has a lot of patience, not only during the exhibit day but also for 28 years). This is an annual fly-in at the Canadian Aviation Museum.
Vintage Wings Canada had a display of a Spitfire, a Mustang, a Harvard, and a Fox Moth, and another display with the internal workings of a Merlin.
There were 4 Republic SeaBees in attendence both in static attendence and a fly-by. This is one beautiful bird - or really ugly, depending on your perspective. Definately a practical, high utility, aircraft.
There a hangar beside the main museum where ?Northwinds? is restoring several aircraft, and they had a guided tour.
Free admission to the main museum was also offered. This is an impressive collection, with many "only one of two surviving in the world" units.
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home, so I have only a few really ugly grainy pictures. I may add them to this post later.
