Our most superb and illustrious hosts, Cathy and Frank (St.Catharines). Thank You.

A big Thank You to all the volunteers at Canadian Wings of Rescue, and at the Owl Foundation (St.Catharines) that help make this happen. We are just one cog in a big wheel.

Also, thanks go to Allied Aviation FBO at St.Catharines for waiving the overnight parking fee, and Innotech Aviation (Shell) in Thunder Bay for waiving the $60 ramp fee.
