All the time... it never fails... the anticipation of some Warbird event gets me in the spirit.
The problem is that the Canadian climate means there is a distinct difference between winter and summer and there really is only a few months of good air show weather.
So what to do over the winter? This is where my hobby kicks in. I like to collect photos of warbirds. One of each survivor is my ultimate goal (as loftly as it is), and I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to attain it. It keeps me busy in the winter months swapping photos with people via snail-mail, researching the histories of individual airframes, placing all those photos in the albums, and corresponding with other warbird nuts. It helps keep the spirit up during the winter months.
Regards,
Mike (dreaming of next summer)
