Great image, and even greater memories !
Great shot Peter, does that mean your an Air Canada guy? I’ve always loved aerial views, done the heli photo shoots at LAX a couple of times.
Thanks for the compliment, Marc. Credit for this image really belongs to Mr. B. He expertly positioned the Mighty Cessna C150 during the high speed race with the Mountain-type… I just had to mash the shutter button. Yes, this was a life-changing day for this previously rudderless young man (a shameless plug for Big Brothers / Big Sisters programs).
Since you asked… I finished my Canadian flying career in the left seat of the Airbus A330 with Canada 3000 Airlines. When they went bust shortly after 9-11, we packed the family and stuff into the car and started driving south. We didn’t stop until we ran out of gas – somewhere around Orlando, Florida (it was a big tank). The Jets are Blue now… life is good!
That’s a cool story Peter! Makes me want to try ariel photography with trains now
Well Orlando ‘s not a bad place to be especially at this time of year…-9* C and snow up here today.
Miss those C3 330′s. WC and WB are still in the air with Alitalia last I checked.

Great story, great image. After all these years….always wondered who was in that pesky plane as I chased 6060 over the very dusty sideroads into Collingwood….
