On this beautiful bright and warm day, I went out for a morning stroll on Crescent Beach. As is often the case, I was the only one on the beach ~ I have been tempted, when others are on Crescent with me, to mention with some authority that they are trespassing …!!!
With the tide receding from its high and after my customary sit
on the rocks, I started to make my way back along the vacant beach, when
suddenly a military aircraft flew over me. With much haste and an enormous
amount of fumbling around, I managed to take a couple of really terrible photos
of what I believe was a CP-140 Aurora out of RCAF Greenwood (14 Wing Greenwood).
As I watched the aircraft fly south west towards Green Bay,
the pilot dipped his wings a couple of times on both sides ~ I thought perhaps
a signal …?
He then flew on a complete circle around the bay and back towards me on Crescent Beach. This time with a little less fumbling, I got a couple of reasonable but not perfect photos. He turned north west towards Greenwood.
Here are a couple of blog links to my past experiences with
RCAF Greenwood ~
