Thank you George. And thank you for your service! That would have been a Canadian Flag :But smiley don't got !
Radial and Rotary : I like things that go around
You are welcome and thanks for the kind words! What is the airplane silhouetted in the background? Is there a story behind that photograph?
Hi George; the aircraft in the photo was a Harvard trainer, USAF called them Texan's ,we called them[ flying bricks ] they were heavy and had a redial engine. My Dad took the photo at one of the many RCAF bases we were stationed at.
That is too cool for you to share the photo! Did you fly for the RCAF or what was your specialty? I think it's really cool that your father and brother also served! Do you play any flight sims? I play a lot of DCS World as of late.
