Air Cadet Memories
It was a normal training night at CFB Summerside for 53 Sqn RC (Air)C. Yours truly joined Air Cadets for 2 reasons; to be closer to the Argus and, of course, the girls! But I digress...this image was a direct result of memories of one particular night when and the constant (and welcome) interruptions by the fighting Four Hundred and Fifteenth. Cpl Daryl Churchill finally threw in the towel and dismissed the class so we could go outside to watch the Argus doing her touch and go's (it was the right thing to, Daryl). I still remember the flames shooting over the wings as she split our eardrums time and time again rolling down Rwy24 in wet power! Hope you like it.
