things seen from above
Loring Air Force Base in Northern Maine. This was a SAC base back in the day. Bomb storage bunkers can be seen to the left of the runway. I don't believe it is an active base anymore and I have never seen any aircraft there.
The picture doesn't really do it much justice but this is a huge hole in the middle of Quebec City. I often fly over this hole on the appraoch to runway 24. It may have something to do with the Canadian Shield but cities out here have huge mines in the centre of town. If it was BC they would be filling them with garbage no doubt.
Montreal hosted the Rogers Cup for tennis this summer. I remembered that Pauline was glued to the TV for this week and thought I should snap a picture for her. I was watching it too Pauline, but I only got about a 20 second view each time and the players were soooo small.
Something none of us see very often anymore is a drive-in movie theatre. Well, in Montreal they have 5 or 6 screen one. I couldn't figure out what this was for the longest time. I had never noticed it before, but since there was a runway closure in Montreal for a few months we departed a different way and this allowed me to see this ancient wonder.
On a late summer afternoon in Ottawa there was a bunch of hot air baloons scattering the sky. I have always wanted to do a flyby to one of these but I think that may be frowned upon by my employer,
