tribute to my Canadian Airforce DAD
My Dad was an Canadian Air Force Pilot and Flight Instructor. He flew with the 424 Squadron out of Hamilton Ontario Canada. He's still with us at 94. He flew many different planes, P51, T33, and lots of others and trained pilots on the Harvard. I've been restoring my 67 Barracuda for 9 winters and finally hit the roads this year. Recently the Hamilton War Plane Heritage Museum had a car show at the YMC John C. Monro Hamilton International Airport. At a cruise night before the show when I was handed a flyer for the event I requested (since they don't own a P51 Mustang, his favorite I think) that they bring out a Harvard for the picture shoots. When I arrived at the show there was the Harvard sitting on the deck waiting for me. I got to park beside one of his aircraft for a shoot. Made my day!!!
