Not much walking going on when you have wheel chocks on the MQ-4s at the head of the column.  :smiley:

A great shot of CFB Comox around my time, late 1970s, early 80s. There is one Labrador still in the old paint scheme.  I see my barracks, the armorers hut, mess hall etc. 

Note the "binary" Voodoo.

Thanks. It's the best photo/angle I have seen to date of Comox. Any time there would be on the ramp:
  • Voodoos
  • T-33s
  • Argus's
  • Buffaloes
  • Labradors
  • Trackers
And visiting aircraft. It was a busy airfield.
