Les Evans (Ret’d) Topic: Captain (Ret’d) Les Evans – My Career All aviation enthusiasts are welcome! Photo: AWACS Aircraft Flypast V. 53 No. 2 September 29, 2018 CAHS Toronto Chapter Meeting Topic: Flying High to Promote Aviation Speaker: Jacquie Perrin Reporter: Gord McNulty It was a pleasure to introduce Jacquie Perrin, well-known Canadian broadcaster, journalist and aviation enthusiast. A polished speaker, Jacquie started her broadcast career with CKWS Radio in Kingston, where she hosted a daily talk show. She is a graduate of York University, with a Degree in Geography, which she put to good use as the local weather reporter. Jacquie later returned to her native Toronto to join CFTO TV News. Ten she was an anchor for CTV’s Canada AM and a reporter for CFTO News. She gained an Speaker Jacquie Perrin ACTRA Award for her interviewing skills on private radio. With the CBC, she Photo: John Bertram was a news announcer for the National News, Metro Morning and Ontario Morning. She also guest-hosted numerous CBC radio shows. In addition, Jacquie has also hosted CBC-TV programs, notably Saturday Report and CBC Newsworld. In terms of aviation, Jacquie holds a Private Pilot’s Licence. She trained in the USA after being awarded an aerobatic scholarship. She is a longtime air show announcer, particularly for the Canadian International Air Show (CIAS). Jacquie holds membership in the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots. She has written articles about her love of aviation and has been a guest speaker on the subject. As well, Jacquie has served as an emcee for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and the Great War Flying Museum, in addition to various other aviation events. She also volunteers for the Air Cadet League of Canada and has been involved with the organization for almost 25 years. Noting that everyone recalls a lot of ‘firsts’ in their lives, especially in aviation, Jacquie recalled the first time she “realized that being a pilot was a real job.” She was a Grade 8 student at Gulfstream Road Public School in the Weston Rd.-Sheppard Ave. area. Te teacher asked everyone what their father did. One classmate of Jacquie’s suddenly stood up, ramrod straight, and in a loud and proud voice, he said: “My father is a test pilot.” Jacquie thought that was pretty neat. Lo and behold, the classmate’s name was Stephen Fowler, son of Robert Fowler. Bob, a member of Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame, was a friend to many in the Toronto Chapter, known for his illustrious career as a test pilot at de Havilland Canada and wartime service as a B-25 Mitchell pilot among other things. Jacquie had her first airplane ride at age 15, starting from Malton Airport in the days when airliners like the Viscount were coming and going and passengers dressed up for the occasion. Te destination was Montreal. She was both very calm and very excited. She vividly remembered the return flight at night, when Toronto was covered in brilliant, white lights. “It was a magical moment,” Jacquie recalled. “Te city looked like a fairyland.” Whenever Jacquie flies at night, on any kind of aircraft, she thinks of that special moment. It was the precursor of many “first flights” for Jacquie, who travelled extensively after being selected Miss Dominion of Canada in 1969. She enjoyed flights all over Canada, the U.S., England, Australia, Japan, etc. She saw her first Boeing 747 at the Honolulu Airport in 1970. Her first aerobatic flight left an indelible impression as well. It happened on Sept. 3, 1981, media day at the CIAS. As a reporter for CFTO News, she was to fly with the Canadian Reds team in Pitts Specials. Her pilot, Rod Ellis --- a former Red Knight --- strapped her into the front seat. Jacquie had the goggles, helmet and scarf, but didn’t have a canopy. Tere wasn’t any radio, so hand signals were used. 2 Flypast V. 53 No. 2 Canadian International Air Show Historical Plaque on the CNE Grounds. Photo: Bernice Winson A cameraman in a second aircraft took photos as Jacquie and Rod had a grand time flying loops and rolls. She kept looking back to Rod. Suddenly, the next thing Jacquie knew, she was “looking up at Lake Ontario.” Even with the five-point harness, she came off the seat “just a little bit.” At that moment, she knew she was going to be a pilot. Te thrill had just taken her breath away. Just a couple of weeks later, Jacquie had her first flight with the Snowbirds. Tat just reaffirmed her desire to fly. Her busy broadcast career provided more opportunities. She enjoyed rides in a CF-18, an F-16, as well as Italy’s Frecce Tricolori demonstration team, several civilian performers and a variety of other aircraft. All of these are documented in Jacquie’s passenger logbook, which can be found at Aviation World. One of the last entries involves a WestJet flight to Edmonton with an all-female crew. Tere are also photos of Air Canada all-female crews. An encounter at the 1994 CFB Borden air show proved uplifting. Jacquie showed her logbook to Patti Wagstaff, well-known American pilot who was a three-time national aerobatic champion, and to Montaine Malett, one half of the French Connection aerobatic team. Tey were impressed, but then Flypast V. 53 No. 2 3 suggested it was time for Jacquie “to stop being a passenger and start being a pilot.” Jacquie recalled telling Montaine that she thought it would be expensive, but Montaine disarmed her by asking Jacquie how much her jacket cost. “It was about $300 maybe --- two flying lessons,” Jacquie said. “No more excuses. I went home, opened my closet, and it was full of flying lessons. Two weeks later, I signed up at the Brampton Flying Club.” Tat first lesson left Jacquie looking like a drunken sailor. “Power on, power off, left, right, watch where you’re going! And I was only learning to taxi at that point…” Tings improved and Jacquie did get into the air, but learning to fly was a two-year process because of her busy career. Of course, she remembers her first solo. In preparation, she was doing circuits in a Cessna 172 when her instructor felt she was having problems with her landings. Why? “Too many people on board.” With that, the instructor left and Jacquie was alone for the first time. In a published article, she wrote: “My heart went into my throat but as I lined up that little airplane at the end of the runway, that seductive paved highway to the sky, I could hardly wait. Te engine growled as I released the brakes and gave a full throttle. ‘Look out, world!,’ I said. Tat blue and white bird leaped into the air. On climb out, I looked to my right, expecting to see my instructor, but he wasn’t there. I was alone. Tere was a moment of panic, but then instant calm. I was suddenly enveloped in a bubble of absolute bliss and happiness. Finally, after all these years of dreaming, I was alone in the sky ---- flying on my own.” Her first solo on August 18, 1995, was “without question the most memorable, magical and euphoric moment of my life.” Jacquie traced her involvement in the CIAS to 1985. June Kirby, who was retiring as public relations director, asked Jacquie over lunch to shadow her for a year and then take over. “She said it wouldn’t take much time and I would have a lot of fun.” Te following year, when Jacquie had taken over, was highlighted by the arrival of the Frecce Tricolori. With all of the demands of the Italian team, the public, the media, plus single-handedly writing the program and news releases, without the benefit of a computer, Jacquie found the air show dominated her life and she “nearly had a nervous breakdown.” June still laughs when Jacquie tells her about it. She survived and has now completed her 34th year as a volunteer with the show. It has been “quite a ride” for Jacquie as PR Director, heading other committees and serving on the board of directors, including vice-chair in the past few years. Jacquie’s air show experience has produced both highlights and heartbreak, “especially of losing friends,” but her admiration for the dedication of almost 100 volunteers is steadfast. “When those performers fly over the spectators, especially the children, and they all look up and go, ‘Wow!,’ you just know that all that hard work, frustration and hours of preparation have been worth it.” Jacquie has worked with the Snowbirds since 1981 and it has been a thrill and honour to fly with the team. In 1995, the team’s 25th anniversary, she was named as an original Honorary Snowbird. “I can’t express what it means to be considered part of the Snowbird family,” she said. In learning to fly, Jacquie learned a lot about herself. As she wrote in the article, “I had to confront my fear of failure, the parameters of my own courage while doing those first stall spins and emergency procedures with an instructor, and then on my own.

  • The Legacies of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada's Prairie Provinces
    A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE: THE LEGACIES OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AIR TRAINING PLAN IN CANADA'S PRAIRIE PROVINCES by Allan Newell B.A. University of British Columbia, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AUGUST 2007 © Allan Newell, 2007 ABSTRACT The establishment of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) saw the creation of more than one hundred air training schools across the country. In the West, the wide-open spaces facilitated many of these sites, and a sophisticated network of airfields sprang up across the prairies almost overnight. The substantial and enduring impact of the BCATP's airfields and schools in the Canadian West is curiously overlooked by historians, who (for the most part) often focus on the Plan's overall operation at the expense of its lasting influence. The construction of the BCATP sites prompted extensive modernisation of the existing infrastructure in many of the small communities selected for schools. Moreover, the vast sums of money poured into the region and the tens of thousands of Commonwealth airmen who came to train at the airfields had a significant and long-term cultural and economic impact on the region. Along with improved infrastructure, the BCATP brought a new cosmopolitanism and a strong regional affinity for the Air Force. More importantly, the Plan influenced the perceptions and perceived roles of women in the prairies and has had an enduring effect on the Canadian women's movement. In the postwar years, the demographics of the prairies shifted as thousands of BCATP alumni returned to take-up residence in the region they had trained in, while at the same time Canadian war brides departed to be with their new husbands abroad.

  • Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis
    Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis Land Over Landings April 18, 2020 (rev. April 26, 2020) © Land Over Landings, 2020 1 Contents Overview and General Observations / 3 Extracts and Detailed Comments on the Reports / 5 The Supply and Demand Report / 6 The Contextual Bridge Report / 27 The Airport Type and Role Report / 28 The Revenue Generation and Economic Impact Assessment Report / 47 End Note / 49 2 Overview and General Observations In 2016, Transport Canada tasked KPMG to forecast capacity and demand in the southern Ontario airport system for the 20-year period 2016 to 2036. Following completion of the supply and demand study, KPMG conducted an additional three studies, which took so long to produce that some details of the December 2016 forecast report are now significantly out of date, and the later, newer sections diverge from the first report in tone, intent, and perspective. Because of the disjointed structure (four separate reports purporting to be one) and the extended timeline, a lot of material is repeated – and even contradicted – in subsequent reports. Regardless, the essential conclusion is clear, and is expressed frequently and unequivocally in the Supply and Demand Report (December 2016) – in fact, it is repeated no fewer than eighteen times, not counting five times in the executive summary. No additional airport in southern Ontario will be needed to meet 2036 demand. The report shows that, with modest capacity expansions of some existing airports, southern Ontario airport capacity will not only meet forecasted demand but will exceed it by a huge margin. The report further states that adequate runway and terminal building capacity exists within the system as a whole, with the introduction of high-speed rail services in the region.
