Top Gun fly-by of Grey Cup

Just heard news that Daniel Walters, a 2010 iP2 paragliding graduate, and CF18 Hornet pilot, is doing a fly-by for the Grey Cup Parade: tomorrow, Saturday November 26, 12:00, in front of Canada place, over the harbour. 

 

Hoping for some clearer skies for the CF-18 squadron fly-by, as right now there are some weather issues trying to leave Cold Lake and the Vancouver forecast is for rain. 

I'm pretty fired up about the game, I played high school football and love contact sports.

Although the Lions this season had a slow early start: I personally think Lulay was throwing and moving the ball well from the beginning, the receivers just kept dropping balls, and the running game was absent.

But now, hard to find a flaw, with all the angles being covered. Lulay rocks and with McCallum kicking right through the posts consistently from 40 plus yards out, tough to beat!

Apparently a common jab in Dan's squadron is that he flies one of the fastest and loudest aircraft (CF-18) on the planet and also the slowest/lightest/quietest aircraft, a paraglider.

We'll watch for you in the skies on Saturday.  Godspeed,  Dan!

Go Lions!
