The MS Walk was today and fortunately, the weather was good enough to fly over the Walk! The Walk was to start at 9:00, so I made sure I was airborne by 8:40. I headed over to Port Dalhousie and waited for a call from Chuck to let me know the Walk was underway. There was a huge group of people standing together when I arrived. After about 15 minutes of flying around, I figured the Walk would start any second. I did a descent of about 500 feet, just to increase the sound of my engine and alert everyone to my presence. As I later found out, I did this immediately after the MC announced that “Lizzy McFly would be flying over the Walk route for the third year in a row!” Pure luck that my timing of the “dive” was right after he said that.
Here is a picture of the group just before they started the Walk:
Chuck also took some pics on the ground of my plane:
I was always pretty good at “Where’s Waldo?” and was able to quickly spot Chuck and Jan in this picture:
Here’s a shot soon after the Walk started:
After flying over to Welland, I headed back to St. Catharines for a landing. I decided to meet up with Jan and Chuck in Port Dalhousie. I was greeted by a few people. Many asked me if I could see them waving!
It was a great day and I’m looking forward to hearing how much money Niagara raised for MS!
Today’s symptoms: Feeling great in the morning, then a little weary in the afternoon. Not too much else to report!
