Following a CAHS board meeting and a meet-and-greet social gathering at the Quality Inn & Convention Centre in Kingston, Ontario, on Wednesday, June 21, our annual convention was literally on a roll the morning of Thursday, June 22. At 0800, convention organizer Jim Bell had all conventioneers aboard a school bus for an easy one-hour drive to Trenton and a great start to the convention.
First stop at Trenton was 8 Wing RCAF where we had a chance to tour a Boeing CC-177 Globemaster III of No. 429 (Bison) Squadron, RCAF. We were all amazed at the size of the giant jet-powered transport aircraft, one of five serving with the RCAF, capable of carrying out operational flights anywhere on the globe. |
