Another Range Weekend Come And Gone…

Leave a comment

So, as I mentioned in an earlier post about a Ghostbusters / “Ecto 1” sighting, I had another weekend on the range for requalifications.  Good ol’ CFB “Boredom”.  Some nice new mess facilities there, but still otherwise the same.  I don’t miss that base, nor the rooms either…

We had some bright and sunny, albeit a fair bit of windy conditions for the first day.  But a good day of shooting – and even with a flyby of a foursome of Harvard trainers, there at Borden for a small airshow / demonstration event…

We even had some newer faces try to get used to full-auto bursts.  Always fun to watch…

​Rainier conditions for our pistol shoots the next day…

But it was all made better to come home to the Mrs. having got a couple of GIANT t-bone steaks marinated and ready for high-temp grilling perfection.  Mmmmmmmmm, meat (yes, I know, with a side of salad, lol!)

Cheers all. ​​

Snowbirds Flying Around…

Leave a comment

The Canadian Forces “Snowbirds” just flew over my house about twenty minutes ago…

…and I couldn’t get to my effing iPhone / camera in time.  LOL.  Nice little flyby in their standard formation, cruising at only about 250-300 feet max.  Shoulda been a nice little look-see for the kiddies in town.

Apparently, they were just flying over a local school, on their way from the London / St. Thomas, ON airshow this past weekend, down to a Michigan airshow over the next few days, and then I believe they’re expected at this weekend’s big military airshow at CFB Trenton this weekend (which I’m taking the family to).  More pics and such of that after the weekend.

But a quick recent review coming later today, then continuing on with the catch-up posts from the past year…

Cheers all.
