Good afternoon all...

Buzzing the Flight Line OR How to go from Pilot Officer to Civilian in one easy step...

"Scenic Wonder"...any Landmark Natural or Man Made

I Googled Wonders of the World and there are so many lists now, I can remember when there were only seven I think...

Canadian Forces Base Trenton fits that description and soon to be the largest military airfield on the continent.

Situated on the Bay of Quinte with water access to Lake Ontario and the other Great Lakes CFB Trenton has easy access North, East and West by major highways.

Beautifull shot!  You really are into those yellow planes lately aren't you!

I have to admit, I gave up looking through all those lists too thinking other people would take them up too.  I eventually decided to just think of some place, fly there, and take a picture.  That's what happened with my submission and that's what happened with all my ones in the leftovers category.

Thanks for the comment Club508...much appreciated.

Yellow was the standard Training colour for aircraft during the war and long afterwards.

The picture is based on the British Commonwealth Air Training Program at Royal Canadian Air Force Station Trenton during World War Two so most of the aircraft would have been painted yellow.

A country that is as vast and huge as Canada with more rivers, bays and lakes than all the other nations combined on the planet, yellow made it easier to spot if an aircraft went down for one reason or another.
Try looking for a white aircraft in the winter, almost impossible to spot from the air or ground.

That would explain the color!

Cool shot.
Ive been to Trenton a few times while in transit to summer camps when I was an Air Cadet.

Also, I live in Red Deer AB. Just a few miles south of here is the Penhold Air Field which was the main Commonwealth air training center in western Canada during the war. At the gates is an old yellow painted Harvard...
