The Magic of Flying at Sunset or Dawn
One of the most memorable and rewarding experiences in the RCAF was flying during sunsets or dawns. The simplicity and beauty of these moments, where the sun sets over an overcast layer or the candy floss-like clouds cover the sky, create a serene and magical atmosphere. These flights often provided a sense of awe and fulfillment, especially when shared with fellow pilots, witnessing the breathtaking views from the cockpit.
