I was really impressed with the amount of knowledge Grant has on airplanes and thanks Grant for being our tour guide.

A grand show Canada the pictures keep coming. Looked like it was a fantastic day, reminded me of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C.

I suppose there's only one way to find out: "Excuse me, sir, do you mind if I clamber into your Sopwith Pup here? It's for science...or history...or something like that." I'd do it!

Okay, added that pic of Alex climbing in the Stearman to my collection of Unusual Activities While Kilted collection.

And here's a pic of the Cessna Crane from early 1942 at British Refresher School in Imperial, California. That was where the Royal Air Force trained American pilots before shipping them to England.

And here, over 66 years later is Alex with another Cessna Crane

So amazing.

And special thanks for helping me identify that old pic in my father's class yearbook for that training.
