Country: | Wow. The closest thing to that I've sat/stood on would have been that glass floor dealy in the CN Tower. Sounds like a bit of a rush. | |

Country: | Just thought I'd throw these in for the heck of it. I took them last summer up at CFB Greenwood. Some of you may have seen these before. They're the Argus and the Neptune from the Greenwood museum. The Neptune is actually still the property of the USN, on extended loan to the museum. As far as I'm aware, it's the only one left anywhere in Canada. As I'm sure pb is aware, examples of the Argus can still be found at a few bases across the country, like this one. | |
