Wow, this stirs my heart! My father served in an RCAF Mosquito Squadron during WW2. Later worked as an aeronautical engineer at CFB Comox. My uncle was an fighter pilot. A family friend was a Lancaster bombardier. Shot down over France in 1943. Spent time as a POW. Only member of his crew to survive. My great uncle flew Hurricanes in North Africa. Shot down and killed. I spent my life growing up near airbases with jet engines and turbine engines whistling in my ears. Inspired by my family history, I obtained my PPL at age 50. Beautiful video.
