I believe SL721 is hangered at Aeroshell (other end of the airport from the Flying Club). Assuming SL721 would head directly for runway 25 for take off, a good location to see it taxi by is right a the fence between the FedEx and DHL buildings. Great photo ops right beside the DHL building. If you prefer to sit back and watch the take-off run then I suggest moving around to the golf course side of 07/25.

How many regular WIX posters and lurkers from the Ottawa area are out there? We should form a network for notifying others of SL721 and other warbird activity. There is so little warbird activity around here any appearance is practically huge event!

Regars,

Mike
