With the news going big around here, about a new dive site attraction, we were very surprised to see that it may be very close to where we live. It was with great anticipation that Wendy and I took a trip to the airpark this morn to see if the news was correct about a new arrival sitting on a flat bed trailer after arriving up the river on a barge......

Here is what we saw when we turned down the access for the airpark parking lot.......




.....and then saw an arrival, showing how close this is to the threshold of the Courtenay Airpark runway...nice sideslip !













........here is Wendy getting some shots of the bird, also.....




........and this shot of the proposed site, was taken by flash in the waning light of the day..........

That is just sooooooooo cool!!!! 8) 8) 8)
