Today I was able to fly in a Remembrance Day flypast over Toronto. Hannu Halminen and I met up with three Harvards from the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association for a missing man formation over Toronto’s City Hall and Sunnybrook Veteran’s Hospital.

Hey Glenn,

We had a great flight. Talked about you. Maybe we can do a winter shoot with 20404.

Cheers,

Eric

Great shots - thanks for posting. The overcast skies really makes the yellow "pop". :D
