Canada's First Air Stars: The SiskinsThe RCAF's first official aerobatic team was the Siskins, formed in 1929. Flying Armstrong Whitworth Siskin biplanes, the three-pilot team amazed crowds across North America, including at the prestigious National Air Races in the US. They pioneered precision formation flying in Canada's air force but were disbanded in 1932 due to Great Depression budget cuts. #Canada #RCAF #VintageAviation #Aviation #History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siskins

The #AOPA general meeting was yesterday, 12 May 2026. AOPA anted up table stakes of transparency: their video of the meeting is at https://aopa.org/about/governance/2026-aopa-member-meeting. 2+ hours long. I've watched 9 minutes so far. I haven't heard the member comments yet. #Aviation #AnnualMeeting @aopa @flywithaopa

@ai6yr @jmccyoung some poor mechanics are going to have to deal with that engine. Bad enough when it's a bird or a deer, but when it's a person...

The Golden Age: Canada's Golden HawksBefore the Snowbirds, the Golden Hawks ruled the skies. Formed in 1959 for the RCAF's 35th anniversary, they flew frontline F-86 Sabre jets—not trainers. Their striking gold-and-red paint scheme and daring low-level shows made them legends. Their controversial disbandment in 1964 was met with public outcry, solidifying their place as one of Canada's most revered air teams. #Canada #GoldenHawks #RCAF #Aviation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Hawks

@Av8rdan probably my favorite demo team to watch. The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are good fun but nobody shows off how elegant flying can be like the Snowbirds.

Pick Sweden. We'd be idiots to increase military procurement from a country that has openly threatened to invade us.#Sweden #US #Canada #aviation

Any #AOPA members who want to designate someone other than the board to hold your proxy, you need to send AOPA an email. Instructions are at <https://www.aopa.org/about/governance/aopa-by-laws/voting-by-proxy>. Best to do so at least a day earlier then the 12 May 2026 meeting date. I designated Peter Frederic Bowers because of his blog <https://avbrief.com/guest-blog-aopas-may-12-annual-member-meeting-a-chance-for-transparency/>.#Aviation #AnnualMeeting @aopa @flywithaopa

@ai6yr Ordered last October. January is when I called my credit card company, because Amazon was the one that facilitated this madness and claimed I could get a refund, but did not provide a way to do so. I found it on an Ebay search in March and scored. Apparently, lost FedEx stuff is sold in auctions in NY.Friends don't let friends FedEx.
