Strider Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 February 23, 1909---the Silver Dart flew at Baddeck Bay, Nova Scotia http://news.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/Home/ContentPosting?newsitemid=silverdart-hamilton&feedname=CBC-TOPSTOIRES-V3&show=False&number=0&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=True The replica was built at Welland, Ontario, where I live and work. Finally, something to be proud of about this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 He stayed fairly close to the ground at 15ft although he said he could go higher. I guess we will see him at air displays etc. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Port Colborne! The Duke's! The Belmont! The Queen's! Canal Days! Some of the best walleye, perch and smallmouth fishing in North America. Some pretty big pike in the bay in the spring. 15-20 lb carp in 12" of water then, too. I've seen some of the impressive pic's you posted, beautiful, m8. Unfortunately, I don't know any of the chaps involved in the Silver Dart project but it's great to see something of that magnitude done here, especially with the latest round of plant layoffs and closings. Hope they get it in the air on Feb. 23 at Baddeck Bay, N. S. Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
