Hawk One paid a visit to the Kingston flying club Sunday, 4 October following a flypast Saturday over the college during the badging parade. OCdt Logan shared his special thanks for the experience, ‘”Just wanted to send a quick thanks for the Hawk-One walk-through and static display yesterday. Everyone I talked to seemed to really love it, and the fact that you stuck around for all those people means a lot. Even though the weather [wasn't] really cooperative, your visit definitely helped RMC raise its love for the Air Force this weekend!”

While the day’s weather didn’t co-operate, the enthusiasm for the visiting Hawk One F86 Sabre was still pretty high. The folks at Vintage Wings Canada were kind enough to supply some extra Canadian heritage for the RMC Reunion Weekend ceremonies held on Saturday (Oct 3rd). Knowing the aircraft would be on display at the Kingston Flying Club on Sunday, the Club created a Heritage Day event around its visit – with the public invited.
