B-25


Got inside that one years ago, must find the pics. That upper turret is fake, no sign of it from inside.

Been there several months ago with one of my co-workers, The 3 things I will remember most about that trip is:
1. The CF-101 Voodoo, spent a good deal of time admiring its size(especially when you are underneath the tail section)
2. They test-flew the replica of the Silver Dart on the day of my visit &
3. The memorial book in the frosted-glass partion(actually was a quiet & peaceful place, befitting those who we remember today).

Great pics!!!  I love the 727 and the Starfighter gate guardian.  I think one of these days I'm gonna do a gear-up model in a gate-guard diorama instead of the regular display method. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

There's a similar Starfighter gate guard outside the Canadian Legion in Innisfail Alberta, I'll drive over there one day and take some photos of it.
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Hey gang:

     Keep an eye on the sky next weekend (August 08-09). There might possibly be an operational CC-115 Buffalo in town for the dedication of the restored Buffalo airframe.

     If 442 Sqn has 3 serviceable CC-115 Buffalo's available by next Friday night, we will be sending an aircraft down for the dedication.

     I will be part of the crew! My family lives in Guelph. I don't get home very often from the West coast. This is not a sure thing, but we are hoping it happens.
