Canada - USA trip 2001

12-09. ST Hubert


 

The preparations for the Air Review had been going on all After absorbing the news of the day before, we made some phone calls to our contacts at several bases we realizing that visits to bases in the USA where not possible we were left stranded in Canada waiting until the moment we could return home and in de meantime visiting museums and bases that were not under control of NORAD. We left Bagotville in the direction of Toronto with our small list off museums and W&R in Canada and the USA. Not one moment in our planning did we think about only doing museum stuff, so the list we had was very small. On the way to Toronto we tried our luck at St Hubert where a visit was no problem so we had some operational aircraft this day. In contrast to the American’s we spook earlier they were so less emotional and realistic about the situation in the USA. After the visit we travelled further in the direction of Vermont to try out luck at some W&R over there. At the bridge crossing near Johnstown it became clear that entering the USA was not going to be possible . After this we booked in to a real old fashioned motel , the one u see in the films about the fifties even the interior was from the fifties . The evening was spend in the local steakhouse and they say portion’s in the states are big well lumberjack’s also eat big portion’s
