And you did visit a hobby store, where there were definitely trains :) DeWinton is Area 51 in Alberta to me - when those interesting pieces of rolling stock were stored there; now gone.<br /><br />Thanks for the link re: the Elephant elevators. That one still looks good!<br /><br />At the CFB Trenton airshow, they would bring (at one time four) T-birds down from the utility squadron at CFB North Bay.<br /><br />Nice photography including the unexpected waterfalls.<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-30889317637083821872017-10-12T19:11:05.325-05:002017-10-12T19:11:05.325-05:00Thanks, Pat!

This was a Canadian variant of the USAF T-33 Shooting Star. These were mostly used as jet trainers. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CT-133_Silver_Star" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CT-133_Silver_Star</a><br /><br />-PatPatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381586104480924655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-34805089224125584552017-10-12T16:08:22.828-05:002017-10-12T16:08:22.828-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381586104480924655noreply@blogger.com
