Although some people come with big lenses they are not needed |
We had a treat on
Wednesday April 15 when we took our friends (Martin and Molly Ware) from
Newfoundland to Air Force Beach in Comox to see a practice session with the
Snowbirds. The weather cooperated and we got to see some great flying. Coincidentally,
we had met the Snowbirds in the Black Fin Restaurant the night before and we
got a photo of Molly sitting with the pilots. Evidently they will fly twice
daily weather permitting until April 29th. Here is the schedule for
their practice sessions.

clicked off lots of shots.We plan to get out again in different weather and lighting conditions.
