Just a quick question out of curiousity. Is it WestJet Virtual or WestJets Virtual that is sponsoring this?

 

Seems to be some confusion in their name.

This is the premiere stop for my airshow tour so count me in. I'll be bringing in the Gray Corsair so expect a flypast for remembrance of his valiant actions. I'll make sure I get an exact overhead time so I don't disrupt the traffic.

Thinking about flyins and vintage planes and such I was imagining what a nice sight a Mosquito would make. (Not found, but I'm some pleased with this stock Goose!)

Here's what's in Edmonton this week:

If you look to see how the system works

Likely you will find that it doesn't.
