Flight day



We left after the ceremony, skipping lunch in the church basement. One has to love the Regina airport, as the pic indicates, the lineup for security was non-existent, so a bored group of security employees had a lot of time to spend looking over our stuff. They all had a total fit over my New Rock Reactor boots because of all the metal on them, saying they are not airport friendly so they called their colleagues to come look at the boots as they went through the x-ray scanner. I had to answer a few questions, are they heavy, where did you get them? Then when I went to put them on, one security person said she was moving because she didn’t want to get kicked by me.

John’s backpack was thoroughly scrutinized because he carries all of our electronic gear so it took him a while to get through. We are waiting in Calgary right now and stayed airside because we didn’t want to deal with security again. So we didn’t get a chance to look at the RCAF display.
