The Sabre was flying for Canada Day in Ottawa,alongside a Spitfire and a Hurricane..What a sight..They flew over the house at least three times..
Chris Hadfield the astronaut was flying the Saber ...
The last Canadian Sabre Dog I saw was up close and personal...I was scraping all that lovely gold paint off the fuselages in the refinishing school in Camp Borden in January of '64...
A pre course pool assignment from "God",while I was waiting my refrigeration mechanic's course to start..
The Golden Hawks disbanded in '63..
It was sure nice seeing the old girl fly again..I damned near fell out my second story window hanging out for a better look as they flew around Ottawa..
Another old girl that I'll miss is the Mid Town Tavern in Halifax,a local world reknown watering hole that I used to frequent and enjoy in the '60's..
This is for Mike and the rest of you that have hung out there for a pint or two..
God bless old ladies like these...
