The Wings and Wheels Festival wrapped up and few hours ago and I’m dog tired. Over 40 hours in 4 days has me beat. It was a great show and I really got a lot of good shots. Here we see two Canadian Armed Forces pilots doing what all pilots love to do –[...] Long,long day at the airport working on the Wings and Wheels set-up. I could hardly walk by the time I got home –I’m not used to being on my feet for 10 hours. But it was worth it just for the chance to see a Canadian Armed Forces CF-18 “Hornet”arrive. The [...] No mention of the Toronto Aerospace Museum is complete without the Arrow. Our full-size replica of the Avro CF-105 is the most popular exhibit by far. Normally,the Arrow is cooped up in the restoration hanger but events like Wings and Wheels give us a chance to take her outside for a little fresh [...] Hard at work preparing for the 3rd annual Wings and Wheels Festival at Downsview Airport in Toronto. Presented by the Toronto Aerospace Museum and Parc Downsview Park,the festival doesn’t open to the public until Saturday but I’ve already spent 2 days helping to get everything set up.

As the project progressed,I realized that [...] Of course today’s pick would come from Switzerland The sun sets on Lake Zurich. Taken in the scenic town of Rapperswil on a warm May evening. (Nikon D80 f11 1/1000 sec) Slept in my own bed last night. Long,long trip home from Switzerland with a couple of opportunities to do some planespotting. (Nikon D80 f5 1/800 sec) Had almost 3 hours to kill at Heathrow Airport in London so out came the camera. Unfortunately,the weather was lousy with washed out light caused by [...] With the meetings over and nothing to keep me in Rapperswil any longer,I had to make my way to the town of Kloten to be ready for my flight tomorrow morning back to Toronto. I had lots of time to kill so I opted to take a ferry up Lake Zurich instead of the [...] (Nikon D80 f4.5 1/250 second) The meetings are being held at our offices high above Lake Zurich. During a break yesterday,I took a few photos like this. The town across the lake on the right side is Rapperswil where we’re staying. This quaint cottage is actually the location where our meetings are [...] | |||||
