The Northern Edge 49° 59

Posted by: plapman, 12:43 PM GMT on May 25, 2013

Yesterday I had a great day. The daughter took me to Southport where the Snowbirds, Canada's aerobatic military group, were doing a practice run. They invited the public to attend. Southport is the basic training base for Canada's air force, also the rotary wing training base.
I took my camera but after the first shot the batteries were dead. I should have checked the before I left.
Portageonline .com has a story, photos and a video of the performance.
