Rocky from Vintage Wings of Canada by DavePhoto by Melissa Kamphuis | Vintage Wings of Canada dedicates all of its aircraft to famous and no-so-famous Canadian airmen whose lives are inextricably connected to the aircraft types which bear their dedication panels. One particular aircraft, our North American Mustang IV (P-51D), is in fact dedicated to two men – one famous and one of equal courage, but lesser known. The Robillard Brothers, Larry and Rocky, were born and raised in Ottawa only a few kilometers from the Vintage Wings of Canada hangar facility in the city of Gatineau, Quebec. Much of their immediate neighbourhood, called Lebreton Flats, was considered a blight to snooty federal district planners and was bulldozed in the early 1960s to make way for future urban development. However, the part of ...

Oshkosh: Day 0 - The Drive from The PapaGolf Chronicles by DaveG
I started waking co-pilot Egg up at 0630 as planned. I say 'started' because it is a lengthy process. One of the (few) perks of aging is that it gets much easier to wake up in the morning. I haven't forgotten my own teen years, though, when it was routine to sleep in until late, late morning. Trying to get up at 0630 on those rare occasions when I had to was like trying to shake a wet blanket off the inside of my head. It's normal, but it does beg the question of exactly how teenagers survived in the wild, way back when. It seems to me they'd have been pretty easy prey. Seriously, why would a lion waste hours lying in wait for a careless gazelle at the local watering hole when he could just grab the nearest sleeping teenager?...
