That's a DHC-4A Caribou with a PT-6A engine modification.  Not a pretty bird.

No idea where this shot is, Pearson?

Tom.

Thanks Jim.  :D  It's a truly great group to belong to and is a perfect match for me!  

My true love of aviation started up at age 7 so it's been almost 36 years!  Wow, where did that time go?!   :o

:D  omg, I LOVE this plane so much!!!  (Aero L-29 Delfin)  

I still remember the first time I ever saw this beauty landing at Pearson back on September 22nd, 2007. My excited reaction "Wow, what was THAT?!" (polite version) :lol:

Hey Attila

I watched the f-18 do its flyover in the morning and then land.

At 3:00 pm The Mig 15  plus the L- 29 and many of the other smaller prop planes took off heading South turned and flew North

At 3:45 pm the Mig and the L-29 did a flypast  and then landed.. Pretty cool

Where you there all day?

Napper :D

I missed the P-51 and the F4U . In the afternoon I was at the South end of the field waiting for my ride home when all of this flying took place.
