Hi Mike,

Thanks for the info. True there are so few warbirds activites in our area so a little activity does generate a lot of interest. I have also found the Fed Ex and DHL
a great place to observe at close range the airport taxi.
movements. Sometimes there is a even a empty picnic table to use.

I had read that the Spitfire is to take part in a Battle of Britain ceremony next month. Would you happen to know when and what this is all about?

And yes I would be interested in hearing about special visitors and warbirds to Ottawa airport..even the odd
T-bird with so few left flying in Canada can be a real treat.
