the Wind
I want to thank both Bruce and Jon for coming out to help show Sigs History , we all served with 709 Comm Regt, the wind was nuts , had to get up at 03:30 to make sure our part of the show did not move from the flight line to the RCEME school, we were not able to use spikes at the location due to electrical, gas , water lines in the ground so the trucks became the way to keep everything on the ground , parked the vehicles on top of the mods flaps on the windward side and everything stayed put and we got back on the cots, the Mat Techs will be busy this week fixing or writing off Mod that was damaged all up and down the flight line , very happily no one was injured, we were also using a prototype mod set up off the back of the MSVS, only 6 have been produced , the weather will help with the report and mods needed on the kit,

The wind also made it a great day to unwittingly get burnt to a crisp. It was nice to meet you Bruce and to see the extensive display of radio equipment you had on display. Also good to see you again Frank. The low point of the show for me was the young lady in uniform at the gate offering me the cheaper seniors ticket. Despite sticking around after the airshow to watch all the armour depart and let traffic dissipate it still took 45 minutes to drive the 12 km home.

 Delay was actually due to someone still watching the skies while leaving instead of traffic in front of them. Outside the base gates, but still DoD property on both sides, there was both military and civilian police and fire fighters present, not sure who was actually in charge.

I was looking out of the window in my quarters in P198C.
The stream of traffic moving along Dieppe Rd was constant. Head to toe. Had to wait until about 2000 hrs until I could head out to Timmies. Damned if I was gonna pay another $12.00 for a meal in Curtis/Vickers Mess. I've had better IMPs.
