Squadron pride

I know it was almost a week ago, but I'd ask you to look at these two pictures from the Grey Cup in Toronto.





Sometime between when the first and second pictures were taken, it seems that Maj Rob Mitchell was able to plant a 431 Squadron sticker on the base of the Cup. Which is not only in the best traditions of the CF, but also thoroughly appropriate, given that the Snowbirds are based out of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Having engaged in some pretty decent larks myself over the years (like briefly kidnapping John DeChastelain and his lovely wife in a graffiti-covered van one evening in the fall of 1990), I have to tip my hat to this one: maximum exposure and publicity for the deed, but unlike most pranks, no possibility for embarrassment.

BZ to 431!
