Yes, I got to fly with the 🇨🇦 RCAF Snowbirds back in the ‘80s. They have the same Canadair Tutors, but I don’t have hair like that anymore!

Seems I’ve blown through the 700s in followers - thank you! - but I wanted to post this video of the very last 747 rolling out of the Everett FAL. It’s a -8F, in December 2023.

500+ followers! This deserves a deep dive into my library, with this Hughes 500. These images were scanned from a 50 year-old slide, that I took with a Pentax SLR. If you’re of a certain vintage and from Toronto, you’ll recognize the helicopter - and yes, I got to fly with Bob Rice…😁

I’ve just hit 300 followers - thank you all! - so here’s an Embraer Phenom 300. This is Kevin LaRosa II’s jet, modified to be a state-of-the-art camera ship. Did you see Top Gun: Maverick? That’s some of Kevin’s work!
