In April 1959, the XL-29 first flew. It was produced by the Czech firm Aero Vodochy in response to a competition for a new jet trainer. The Czech design proved better than the Russian and Pol- ish submissions and was accepted as the primary trainer for the Eastern Bloc countries. Production of the L-29 Delfin began in 1963. By the time production ended in 1974, 3665 L-29s had been built. It’s still in use by several countries today. The Acer Cold War Museum (acmad- ventures.com) owns two L-29s.

Ramblings of a Rec Pilot Lest We Forget Wartime Album Stirs Emotion By Eleanor eastick

On a Normandy Beach Remembrance Day is a time set after D-Day aside specifically to remember the supreme sacrifices made by our armed forces. Both world wars of the last century cost Canada dearly in terms of young lives lost. First World War vets are all gone now and the particular brutality of that first “modern” war is no longer a living memory. It survives in film footage and photographs so that we may never forget the brutal horror of trench warfare or the nearly 61,000 Canadian fallen — soldiers, sailors and, for the first time, airmen. A third of all Canadian pilots died in their aircraft but as the new-fangled aeroplane went from reconnaissance and photography to bomber and fighter use, doz- ens of young flyers, scarcely out of their teens became aces: Billy Bishop, Wop May, Raymond Collishaw, Donald MacLaren, William Barker, Roy Brown. Three aviators, Barker, Bishop and 19-year-old Alan McLeod were awarded the Victoria Cross. The Canadian casualties of the Second 2044 Canadians interred at World War were fewer, less than 45,000, Bény-sur-Mer in July 1944 but still far too many lives were lost from a quiet country with a then-population of only 11 million. It was said that Canada’s great superiority in the air was one of the factors which ultimately kept the numbers down by bringing the war to a quicker end. That era of heroics and heroism is receding into history as the ranks of veterans thin out. Now most of our World War Two vets are gone and even the babies born during the war are in their seventies. The living memory is coming to an end. Thirty-eight thousand war brides were brought to Canada, most from the Unit- ed Kingdom and nearly all of them have since joined their brave military men in those Elysian Fields. My dad, Flt. Lt. J.W. Cantelon went overseas to fight in the RCAF in 1940 when

top of the

class top prize but everyone there knew who the top pilot was. That he’d literally come out of nowhere as an unknown was not lost on the generally tight-knit competition community. “It went even better than I thought it would,” he said. “It was an awesome feeling.” Penner said he went about becom- ing one of the best aerobatic pilots in the world in a methodical way. He was drawn to aerobatics early in his career and is a Class 1 aerobatics instructor for Harv’s. He started thinking about competition as a way to not only become a better pilot but to enhance his credibility as an instructor. Largely self taught, he figured there was a lot he could learn from other aerobatics pilots and he actually turned to an old student of his for help. Red Bull Air Race pilot Pete McLeod took his early flight training at Harv’s and in 2015 the student became the teacher as he took Penner under his wing at his home in Red Lake, Ontario. While Penner was an eminently quali- fied and precise aerobatics pilot, he lacked that aggressive confidence in his routine that judges notice and award points for. McLeod is known as one of the most aggressive pilots on the Red Bull circuit and he showed Penner how to channel a maximum power performance into a champi- onship flight. “So much of the way I was flying at the competition I owe to the time I spent in Red Lake,” he said. “I’m really grateful to Pete.” To finesse his flying, Penner turned to one of the top aerobatics pilots in the world. Patty Wagstaff has more honours and titles than most of her contemporaries combined and Penner went to her St. Au- gustine school to learn from the best. Wagstaff taught him what the judges look for in a routine and how to show his flying in the best possible light for them. She mentored him the whole time he was in Texas via email and text message and the results speak for themselves. Although he was virtually unknown to the other competitors in Texas, Penner said he was immediately welcomed. He said the competition aerobatics world is a small one and pilots freely help one another get better and be safer.

42 copa flight | november 2016 “It’s a very inclusive and open world,” he said. Aviation legends mix freely with the other pilots and everyone is interested in advancing the sport. There are 10 different classes in the competition, five of them with engine power and the others for gliders. The sportsman class is one up from the primary category and three below the unlimited class, where almost everyone has air show experience (it was won this year by air show star Rob Holland) and flies expensive custom aircraft. The classes differ mainly in terms of difficulty. Every pilot in the competition flies three times but the demands on them vary greatly from the primary to unlimited classes. Depending on the category, the pilots have to fly a mix of known, freestyle and unknown routines. The known routines are prescribed sets of manoeuvres published well in advance of the competition and can be practiced at will by the pilots. Freestyle routines are set by the pilots themselves

The training is intense and the competition gruelling and stressful and can also be well polished in advance. The more advanced classes (intermediate and up) have to fly at least one unknown routine, a set of manoeuvres given to them 18 hours before the flight has to be flown. Penner learned a lot from Red Bull In the sportsman class, there is no un- pilot Pete McLeod, left and Mike known routine and pilots can fly the same Tryggvason, right, in getting ready known routine three times but virtually for competition. no one does.
