[livejournal.com profile] nexstarman and I went to the Royal Canadian Air Force Memorial Museum (http://www.avroarrow.org/RCAFMM.asp) this weekend. It's on an active Canadian Forces Base and we saw some big planes out there. I missed it because I wasn't looking when we drove by, but [livejournal.com profile] nexstarman said there was a C-17 on site that day.
