Hello from Moose Jaw , Canada

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 15, 2003 12:09 PM

Hi. I'm from Moose Jaw, Sask, Canada. I've recently returned to modelling after a 40 year (ouch) hiatus thanks to a copy of FSM I happened to pick up and to an ex son-in-law who flies Hercs for the CAF. My "dream" is to build a history of the CAF in 1/72 scale. So far I am buying more than building, but am enjoying both. Hope to hear from others interested in the CAF.

Ah Moose Jaw....born and raised there.....a good place to be from.
After 40 years you're probably a little on the rusty side but welcome back! You'll get lots of info from these forums.

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Welcome lynn104. I'm from Saskatoon so we're practically neighbours!!

Better mark May 3rd on your calendar cuz that's the day of Bridge-Con, the SMAS annual scale model contest. I've been to the last two and they are very well organized and draws a nice variety of models.

Maybe you could enter something!

Welcome aboard, and welcome back. I think you'll like how the hobby has changed. I lived in Cold Lake for a couple of years, serving with the air reserves before joining the 'regs' . I saw just about every form of airccraft we have.(sadly not what it should be). I was there when they rolled out the F-18 a proud day for the airforce. live in Cow town now.

Welcome again

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I have really noticed the difference in the quality and details of the kits as well as the supplies available. I think I'm getting OK at the detailing, filling, sanding,spraying,etc.
How do I get more info about the SMAS contest on May 3?

JCHURCH mentioned Cold Lake. I went TDY to Cold Lake from Homestead AFB Fl. in '81. One of our F-4D's was being chased by a CAF F-5. Both were traveling at the speed of heat. When the F-5 called out "Fox 2" the engine on the F-4 exploded causing the aircraft to start burning. Both crew members ejected safely. It was a joke for awhile that the F-5 shot down our F-4.

A friendly welcome from somebody else who is new to the site...Welcome. Oh yeah, and by the way...could you guys up there in Canada stop sending us your snow? Big Smile [:D]

I was stationed at Loring AFB, ME and used to go up to Grand Falls, NB a lot...most of the people were pretty friendly (as well as tolerant) of us drunk airmen up there. We always had a lot of fun! Everybody from Canada that I have met have been good people...glad to have you as neighbors! Smile [:)]

Sorry...forgot about NAFTA! Big Smile [:D]

We got quite a bit of your export this weekend...most we have had here since '87. It was fun, but there is nothing like shoveling snow to show how out of shape you are! Dead [xx(]
