Windsor, Ontario is the southernmost city in all of Canada. However, it tends to be dwarfed by its much larger American cousin: Detroit.
However, the tide will shift for one weekend as the aviation and motorsport community focus their attention on to Windsor as it plays host to the third round of the Red Bull Air Race World Series.
The first race in Canada also has the first Canadian pilot: rookie Pete McLeod whose base is a two hour drive Northeast in London, Ontario. This is quite literally his home race.

VAC Volunteer Kelly Bruun's Mission Report from Veterans Airlift Command by Veterans Airlift
SSgt Jessie Slotte was severely wounded when he was ambushed in 2007 while on dismounted patrol in Iraq. Chasing an insurgent he was ambushed when a 155mm artillery shell improvised into an explosive device was detonated under him. The grenades he was carrying detonated as well. Although not expected he has made amazing progress toward substantial recovery.
It was my honor and privilege to transport this wounded soldier from Fort Lewis to receive a special award and to reunite with his fellow warriors and the staff at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. It truly was a great experience that I will always remember.
