Plane to See:
Organizers of a popular British Columbia airshow are adapting this year’s event so it falls within the boundaries of provincial health measures but also permits fans to attend the display of aviation talent. It’ll be called 'SkyDrive', turning the show into a drive-in affair where attendees can enjoy the airborne feats of aerobatics from the comfort of their own 20′ x 20′ parking space on the airfield. The three-day event will be held at the Abbotsford International Airport and runs from Friday, August 6 to Sunday, August 8, 2021. Tickets are priced between $99.00 and $199.00 per ‘carload’ of people (just like the ’50's movies!) Source: abbotsfordairshow.com |

John Rodger asks: Does anyone know about the origin of this pin? It was found in a lake near Lachute, Quebec (my home town) by a friend of ours who happened to be a flight attendant for WestJet. It would be great to find out if it was an award of some kind. Thanks, John |

"I thought readers of The NetLetter might appreciate these sharp photos, taken and shared by airliner buff, Craig Austin Shipman, of Air Canada's TCA-Retro livery A-220-300 (C-GNBN), (Airbus-Bombardier Mirabel built) at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) on a scheduled flight operation. Also, this collectable publicly-shared 2-view rendering of the same airliner by ace aviation tech artist André Plourde of Nicolet, Quebec" |
