Click on the following picture and try to spot C-FJBN
flying over La Cité collégiale. It is not easy to spot it out because its
color is melting with its background.
Send me an e-Mail with your comments.
Thanks
The pictures shown in this article were taken from a
video tape used by a team from the college’s Television and Movies program. The members of that team were : Vanessa Forget,
Marie-Claude Plante, Karine Proulx and
Claudine Leblanc |
Who is not looking up when an airplane is flying around? Even the most sceptical one can’t resist
deep inside, and dream like a kid.
Being at the controls of an
airplane provides a feeling of freedom and gives to the recreational pilots,
moments of unforgettable experiences.
Those pilots are not only experiencing joys of flying, they do this
while sharing their passion with people around them. For example, members of the
Rockcliffe Flying Club are in many occasion, participating to the community
and socials event.

Picnics,
Canada Day, Air shows, Young Eagles Days, Charity funds raising days are all
kind of activities that are regularly organized at the Rockcliffe
airport. There are also other
activities that are held at the airport but are not necessarily announced,
those may for some people, representing an « A+ » in
their studying program that they have decided to do in order to well start a
career that should be as interesting as aviation. I am speaking here about the students from La Cité collégiale
Television and Movies program in Ottawa. We
receive inquiries regularly from students of that program to help them create
videos on the world of aviation. On
November 9 and 16 of 2002, Simon Garrett, Jean René de Cotret and I, were
honoured to host 2 groups of that college. They
really knew what they were doing those girls. The list of questions was ready and without realising it, the
sound equipment system was installed and adjusted and the angles for
the screen shots were chosen. The
first question was, « How do
you manage stress when you're flying? »
I was so nervous to answer this question in front of the camera that
I answered it with all kind of things not related at all such as « Playing ping-pong, walking around the airplane, preparing
my flight plan, etc… ». They realized An
other question was « What is a perfect
day for you in Aviation? »
And I answered something like « To
land on a field full of daisy flowers with my girl friend, taking some apples
from the threes and then, to fly back at sunset over the Ottawa river
». I have to admit that the day that
I spent with those students is now counting as one of those perfect days for
me. A day where the sun was at the
“rendez-vous”, with persons who had a lot of dreams and ideas, and who would
be our next generation of reporters traveling around the world in order to
inform us and let us understand how important we are to each other. That’s not all, they thanked us at the end
of the day by giving us a nice bottle of wine. Really! La “Cité” can
be very proud of their students and about the image that they are propagating
in the community when they do their projects.
