Spent the morning up at the Brampton airport where the Brampton Flying Club was having their annual open house. Beautiful day and very well attended. Took this shot from the roof.
The museum could have been here but someone decided that we shouldn’t do it. Very bad decision. We could have had the two white tents that you see in the middle of the picture and met thousands of people. But, hell, what do I know? I’m just a volunteer.




Lots of great vintage planes, cars and motorcycles. More pictures available over at Flickr.
