Bill Hillman Presents Sunday, June 11, 2000, was Open House and Volunteer Appreciation Day at the Air Museum. A steady stream of visitors had a chance to see the CATPM hangar before the commencement of the renovation construction project. CATPM volunteers were thrilled to receive rides in two of the museum's vintage aircraft -- a Cornell and a Harvard.

HARVARD WINGS OVER BRANDON
https://www.hillmanweb.com/rcaf/museum/harvard1.html
Having spent eight years in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, I've had the good fortune to have flown in quite a variety of aircraft, but I've never had the chance to go up in a Harvard. I was very excited then, to see that museum director, Stephen Hayter had scheduled me for a flight in this legendary training craft, in which so many thousands of WWII pilots had trained. The fact that the official CATP Harvard pilot is longtime friend, Howard Pahl, made the flight even more memorable for me.
NOTE:
Digital cameras back in 2000 took much lower resolution photos.
Smaller images were displayed on the Web at that time because
Internet speeds were slower ~ Computer Systems slower ~ Website storage costs were higher
I'm looking forward to making the same flight and updating the photos a few decades later.
