But for Lindsay resident Dr. Mark Evans, there is a much more person side to the historic moment in time. His grandfather on his mother's side, Sapper Ernie Blainey with the Second Canadian Division Signal Company, was one of about 100,000 Canadian men who fought that fateful day.

According to author Martha Lunken: I should probably stick to telling flying stories, but occasionally I get so worked up that I can't resist taking off on what I see as some new wacko FAA-mandated requirement or procedure. So it's no surprise that the agency's current "initiative" (in Bureaucratese) of replacing the Practical Test Standards with the Airman Certification Standards has me seeing red.
