Dinner with the U2 Snowbirds

On Friday night (May 27th) as I proceeded to have dinner with friends, we were introduced to a great group of pilots. Andrew, Gary and Al, were all veteran and experienced pilots who had international air missions around the world. I was amazed by how these pilots shared their passions and life experiences with us. They even shared with me how they would synchronize the right moment at which they would fly over the U2 concert here in Winnipeg. 

My passion for learning how to fly is still very much alive today, Gary shared with me that many times he had to go to work and do a bunch of paper work and deal with office matters, but that knowing that he would get to fly was worth all the hassle. He shared with me that he a sense of accomplishment knowing that he had served his country and flown over most of the skies in this vast world.

I got their names, we exchanged cards, but I never asked for a photo of the whole group. I somehow feel like the momento was not completed without it.

Lastly, sharing that moment with my good friends was pleasurable and unique as you just do not get to have dinner with the snowbirds that would fly over the U2 concert everyday.

NO PHOTO FOR THIS ONE.
