Will the local politicians get a VC for the attack like Billy?

All my Canadian heroes are dead people. And they can mostly be found in war cemeteries.

I thought it was wealthy people buying condos near the airport then complaining to the city politicians about the aircraft noise.

No, it is more about a city council, drunk with power that are going to hurt this airport. They already have increased their landing fee to $35.00 late last year or early this year. A lot of the small airports in Ontario are run by idiots that think increasing landing fees etc is the way to go. Then they whine about the drop in fuel sales and other services. I'm kind of happy that I gave up on flying when I did ....... 50 years was a nice round number.

Billy Bishop - the only man ever awarded a VC entirley based on his own account of an action that could not be verified by any German records or anyone else......
