Klaiber Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Very cool! If someone does see them, definitely take pictures. J5_Hotlead and Pfeil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I should keep an eye out for these guys. If they end up near Vancouver I would definitely make the trip across the lines to see them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maushake Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 It seems that 'coast to coast' here, as is all too often the case in Canada, doesn't include Newfoundland. But I did see the Vickers Vimy back in 2005 when they recreated the Alcock-Brown transatlantic flight ... and oddly enough when it flew past, I happened to be on set shooting a CBC drama about the Atlantic Ferry Organisation in WWII!

Somnus Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 That's really neat! The reporter said that to fire the guns, the pilots would have to stand, and fly with their knees? Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
