small onions,

In the early 90s, I was staying in a summer cottage on the north end of Okanagan Lake, near Vernon. Mid-morning, I heard the drone of piston engines and I went out to the dock, expecting to see a water-bomber.

Instead, I saw Vera cruising southwards, down the middle of the lake at 500'!

She was on her way from an airshow at Namao (it was still open in those days) to the Abbotsford airshow. She must have night-stopped at Kelowna, because I saw her heading north the next morning. A wonderful sight.
