Current Goal

Sidney likes to fly; he started his journey in Greenwood Nova Scotia and his mission is to finally reach 19 Wing at Comox British Columbia Canada. Along the way it should visit airports and in particular any military airport; maybe even get his picture taken with his namesake aircraft (a CP140 or a P-3 Orion). Thanks for your help in moving Sidney.
