Oh, Canada!

[Peter Klein]

I posted this photo in another thread about 90mm lenses. But I want more people to see it, so here i is again: A salute to my friends north of the 49th parallel. It's called, "Take Off, Eh!"

Consider this an invitation to post other pictures of things Canadian!

Heck, I'm a liberal - so some of my best friends are Canadian! 😀

And hey, I have a quadrillion of Canada shots. Here are two "quickies"*

(I actually do have a heck of a lot more - but it way too late (early) in the day to drag them into PS and "downsize them" for posting here}


* I apologize that I previously posted these in the Lamposts thread....

I'm pretty sure this was never sold anywhere outside of The Dominion..

How about.

Are those Avro Arrows? 😀

Frank do I need to travel out west and slap you. The famous Canadian Snowbirds and their Tutor jets ( no parts falling off in the photo either )

No, I will do that being closer and we still might have some parts left from the last crash here.

I have not seen the Canadian Aerobatics team -the Snowbirds- since Transpo '72.

Nice shot.

Mine are on Super-8.

Haven't changed much same planes different pilots

I suddenly feel like a failure as a Canadian.

George, after reading your other thread about how much you hate socialism, I am not sure what your definition of liberalism is anymore...

Thanks Brian. You might like these also. I never tire of seeing them or anyother aerobatics team.

After the latest round of political debates I am reluctant to post a FRIENDLY poke in the ribs but can't resist.

Is that why you guys are always trying to leave? ( not meant to alienate the west further)

The majority of Westerners do not want to leave, though they hate Ottawa. 😎

There you go, so we all really have something in common after all. Ottawa is the glue that binds the national fabric, one way or the other.

Frank Ottawa is hated in Ontario to. The worst part is there here in Ontario

Well one of the truisms of democracy is that who ever is out of power hates the government! 😉

 

[Trius]

I probably need a slap. I should have seen those were Snowbirds. 😎

AFAIK, only one Arrow ever flew. I hear there's one hidden away in a bunker somewhere ...

 

[Trius]

Nikon: The real glue is the CBC, we all know that! 😀

Well, at the very least it's HNIC and Grapes!

All the shots in this album are from Prince Edward County, ON. More shots to come. Can I post an SLR shot? :angel:

shush don't say that in public lest the rest of the world discover the true power of the Canadian Air force. Next you be telling them about our stealth aircraft carrier.

Frank .. your humour is priceless! I'm picking myself up off the floor now.

We in North Western Ontario are doubly blessed in that we have to deal with both Ottawa and the provincial legislature in Toronto. Who could ask for anything more other than joining Manitoba. The hate that binds is truly wonderful. Now that we know what keeps Canada together does anyone have an actual phto of the Arrow flying that they took? That would be even more interesting.
