Wings & Wheels – Meet the Aircraft – Part 1
April 5th, 2009
The headliner of this year’s WWHF is “Hawk One”. A lovingly restored Canadair CL-13 Sabre 5, Hawk One comes to us from Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatineau Quebec.
Here’s Hawk One in flight
Unfortunately, regulations prohibit aerobatics over the city of Toronto so it will be on static display but I’ll definitely be there, camera in hand, for the arrival and departure.
My favourite aircraft and my favourite team – The Golden Hawks flying Canadair Sabres! I saw this bird (pre- hawks livery painting) doing engine runs at Vintage Wings (Gatineau Airport) and am looking forward to seeing its graceful golden form glistening in the sun as it comes in “On Final” for Wings and Wheels!
