Vintage Wings visits Swift Current Airport

On Thursday, July 14th, these cool planes flew into Swift Current. On Friday, they gave rides and shared information about these planes.  Many people came out to see the vintage wings - training airplanes that were used for WW2.



the Harvard Mark IV, which was an advanced trainer (pilots would train in the other two (below) before training in this plane)

 I have never heard such a loud small plane - 600 hp

 the Boeing Stearman biplane

 the Fairchild Cornell (which was used as a primary trainer)

The pilots gave rides in the morning and then were grounded in the afternoon because of the wind.  In late afternoon, they started up again and gave a few more rides.

The Southwest Flying Club had a BBQ around 5:30 and a historical powerpoint put on by the Museum.

The planes departed for Regina after 7 pm.

For more information and an audio interview by one of the pilots, check out Swift Current Online's version of the story:

* heartrate: anywhere from 150-160...mostly around 155
* carrying: well you can tell from the pic (low I would say?)

baby dunnington update...

 June 19 - 30 wks

July 13 - just over 33 wks

At my 31 wk check-up, my doc said I was measuring at 34-35 wks!!! How do they get those figures?!?!?! Anyways, I worried about it for a little bit, but just settled on the fact that it's "just an average" and yes I may have a big baby . Then at my 33 wk check-up, my doc said I was measuring where I should be! phew!

here's hoping...
