Semi-retired pilot takes Canadian pride to new heights
Most people look up at the winter skies and see grey.
Londoner (Ontario) Mike Jones sees the maple leaf. I thought, well a maple leaf is a fairly simple thing to draw out. It’s all just points and straight lines, so I could fly it,” he recalled.
The semi-retired pilot and flight instructor wanted to express his Canadian pride after American President Donald Trump’s tariff threats, and suggestions that he would annex Canada making it part of the United States.
“Some of the things he said about Canada kind of got me riled up a little bit. And it’s just, I thought, a polite way of going up and showing my patriotism,” Jones said.
“Well, it’s not as perfect as it looks. I was off, every turn, I’m trying to judge how tight to turn and stuff. But I made it big enough that my mistakes don’t show that badly,” Jones said, with a chuckle.
