The procession of cars, which extend- ed for several city blocks, was escorted by members of the Ottawa Police Force and the RCMP. Indeed, the mood on Parliament Hill where the senator worked was unmis- takably sombre: a grey sky loomed overhead as flags surrounding the gothic buildings fluttered in the wind at hall mast. Members of the Senate security staff stood outside the senators East Bloc office to catch a glimpse of the flag-draped casket as it passed by in the procession. Burial was at Pinecrest Cemetery after a brief service attended by about 200 people, who later came to Parlia- ment Hill for a wake. It was in the Railway Committee Room of Parliament Hill's Centre Block where the friends and relatives gathered to share stories and memories about the late senator. A large mural depicting the story of Ukrainian immi- gration to Canada greeted the visitors as they entered the vaulted room.

But now of course what was unusual and new thoughts of a generation ago are now the emergent policy of the country."

Andrii Krawchuk, executive assistant to the late Sen. Yuzyk: "Sen. Paul Yuzyk played a very active role in assisting people who sought to immigrate into Canada...all Ukrainian Canadians have suffered an immense loss with Sen. Yuzyk's sudden, tragic passing. The question now is whether we will be able to stand above our internal divisions, as he did, and to unite our collective efforts in trying to continue the work that he began."

Peter Savaryn, president of the World Congress of Free Ukrainians: "Senator Yuzyk can be regarded as the second greatest Ukrainian Canadian politician and activist after Michael Luchkovich. (Mr. Luchkovich was the first Ukrainian ever elected to the House of Commons.) The late senator belongs to the group of distinguished Ukrainian Canadians that includes (former members of Parliament) Anthony Hlynka, John Decore and Michael Starr."

John Nowosad, president of the Ukrainian Canadian Committee: "He was important to us...to our organizations...because of his great contribution to the development, the happiness and comfort of others.

by Dr. R. Holowatyj

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — On a warm sunny morning in the Canadian prairies the Snowbirds pilots worked out the fine details of their flight before tossing around a football in the hangar, then going to their airplanes for "the show." The show is presented by pilots who just happen to be considered among the best in the world at what they do: precision aerobatic flying. I was given some additional instruc- tions from the pilot I was to fly with, Michael Skubicky ("Skuby"), a fellow Torontonian whom I had known from Air Cadets many years ago. Pilots are selected to join the Snow- birds for a two-year term and each year half of the team pilots are new members. Tryouts for positions on the Snowbirds traditionally take place in late October and early November. Skuby started flying with the Snowbirds in November 1984 and is now in his second and final season. In Toronto, Mike was a member of the Ukrainian Youth Association (SUM) until 1977. That same year he completed his degree in aviation en- gineering at Seneca College. He then joined the Canadian Forces and was presented his pilot's "wings" in March 1979. Capt. Skubicky was selected for the Snowbirds after completing two flying tours, and now has more than 3,500 hours of flying experience. In the nine-plane formation Skuby flies Snowbird 8 and is the lead solo pilot, which means that he spends 20 The Snowbirds excel in close formation flying. minutes of the half-hour show doing sists of fast-paced formation and solo intensive solo aerc^atics (away from the maneuvers by the nine pilots in their main formation) and often flying head- red, white and blue CT-114 Tutor jets — on towards Snowbird 9, the opposing the agile little Canadian-designed and solo.

The CT-114 Tutor The Snowbirds fly the CT-114 Tutor, a Canadian-built jet trainer used by the Canadian Forces as its basic pilot training aircraft. The Tutor weighs approximately 7,000 pounds and is powered by a J-85 engine producing about 2,700 pounds of thrust. Top speed of the aircraft, with tanks attached, is 412.knots or 475 mph. The basic Tutor is only slightly modified for use by the Snowbirds; a smoke generating system, a unique paint scheme for added crowd ap- peal, and a highly tuned engine to enhance engine response in low level flying. With its high maneuverability and relative slow speed, the Tutor is ideally suited to the formation and aerobatic roles of the Snowbirds.
