I had the great pleasure, for the second year in a row, to fly with WWII vetern Stan J. Miller (RCAF Retired) during a Remembrance Day flight over Toronto, Ontario. This year we had a formation of four Harvards and after the Toronto flypast we over flew all of the Canadian Legions in the Durham area. Mr. Miller flew Halifaxs and Lancasters during the War and retired from the RCAF/CAF in 1971. He has remained active as a CFI and still flys Harvards, Tigermoths and Wacos out of Oshawa, Ontario. After our flight we had a beer at the local Wing where I was surrounded by veterns. It was an excellent way to spend Remembrance Day.
On a sad note I raised a glass to departed friends Joe Tobul, Jim Rossi and Bob Beckman who lost their lives recently while flying ex-military aircraft.
