I won a Tiger Moth framed print at the Edenvale Gathering of Classics last year. Ironically it’s of a Tiger Moth, which I had the privilege to fly a couple weeks prior. Thanks again, Paul!
Either my health or weather has caused me not to be able to fly back and pick it up. We were so close last September when my mother and I participated in the 99’s Gold Cup Air Rally. Maybe a five minute flight away. Unfortunately it was a good time for the Edenvale Classic Aircraft folks. So, symptoms and weather permitting, Jan and I will fly there tomorrow to pick it up. Things are looking good so paws crossed it stays that way!
Mike and I had a nice local flight last weekend. We toured the beaches along Lakes Erie and Ontario. Then met up with the glorious Lancaster, as they circled around Niagara Falls. The Lanc pilot and I know each other, so he gave a nice greeting over the radio, then exited the circuit just before we entered it.
Always a nice sight. We traveled around the Niagara Falls scenic circuit to check out how things are going with the current restrictions.
It was nice to see the distancing on the Maid of the Mist. During our previous flight over the Falls, the US boat was packed and ours was sparse. Only six people allowed in the previous phase, but I think they’re limiting ours to around 50 people now.
Certainly more people today then there were a few weeks ago:
As we have been doing for the last few flights, we checked out how packed the local beaches were:
And finally:
Great flight and I’m so grateful I’m able to safely get out while dealing with the current situation.
Fill him up! Need to be all fueled and ready to rock tomorrow!
We came home to three of the four cats enjoying the weather as well:
Our little friend from next door (Amber), looking somewhat intrigued:
I made sure I have my pitot static tube cover for tomorrow:
Keeping it classy, folks!
Today’s symptoms: I actually had a pretty good day symptom-wise, following two not so good ones. I even took a little vacation this afternoon and did some work out in the gardens. If I feel like this tomorrow and the weather is perfect, I’ll be over the moon! Well, at least a little bit closer to it. 🙂

Beautiful post and beautiful pics!! The Lanc is such an iconic aircraft to see, let alone to see in the air, let alone to see FROM the air! You are blessed indeed. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed some nice flights and had a great symptom-free day. Here’s to hoping you get to retrieve that gorgeous tigermoth print soon.
Thanks so much! It was quite the sight! I’m glad to report that the Tiger Moth print has since been obtained. Now where to hang it…
