If anybody here knows of this airshow and is planning to be there, I will be in charge of an Airtanker group demo with the 4 FireBoss skimmers on each day at around 1300 hrs. They want me to transmit from the cockpit of the bird dog airplane to the crowd what we do and how we do it. It may a a good opportunity to see some neat machinery and hear my dulcet tones as we fly around in circles.

Weather and fire action permitting, of course.

 

For info.

 that sounds real cool, can you do a fly by Niagara Falls?

Just watc out for the Lancaster. It spends most of the weekend flying around the Falls

I have to stay with this airtanker group on shift until August 30th where ever they may go. Right now we are in Lac La Biche and usually don't get off duty until 1900 or so. For the air show we just will fly into Villeneuve Airport from here for a quick demo and back out.

Man, we've been watching the skimmers here as they go from fire to fire. It's like ballet in the sky! They were circling over our house at times for the fire in West Kelowna/Peachland. Today it's Helicopters.

Well if Jerel could make it from Kelowna to White Oaks, how could I not make it from the other side of the city?  A nice night. 

Lots of fun and some good catching up. You have to be at least 6 foot 5 to be a CP member near Edmonton. Im 6 inches too short but they still let me stay.
