The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.  The fears are paper tigers.  You can do anything you decide to do.  You can act to change and control your life;  and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

Amelia Earhart

Well said.

Brampton Flying Club 2009 Open House

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.
