MANITOBA AEROSPACE WEEK May 27 - June 4, 2016 19 Strong Past, Bright Future Strong Past, Bright Future Strong Past, Bright Future Strong Past, Bright Future Strong Past, Bright Future Strong Past, Bright Future Strong Past, Bright Future I f you have ever wondered about those big grey aircraft that fly over the city on a regular basis, you now have an opportunity to get up close, talk to some of the crew members and discover 17 Wing Winnipeg. On Sunday, June 5, the annual RCAF Run features timed distances, a 3km Family Fun Run/Walk and lot of additional activities and entertainment, says RCAF Run Chair Lt.-Col. Danielle Clouter. "In addition to interactive aircraft displays along the flight line, including the full-size interactive CF-18 cockpit, there will be children's activities, an interesting Race Village, athletes from local professional sports teams and much more, including two special features this year,'' says Lt.-Col. Clouter. "The Snowbirds Demonstration Team will highlight the race start with a flypast and there will be one or two of the distinctive red and white aircraft on display, along with a CF- 18 fighter jet with pilot." Both will be in Manitoba as part of the Manitoba Air Show in Portage la Prairie on June 4 and are staying over to take part in the RCAF Run festivities. The RCAF Run is for everyone — no matter what their fitness level or ability to actually run. It is a part of the Canadian Armed Forces commitment to fitness and healthy living and anyone who wants to share in that commitment is welcome to hit the tarmac with the men and women who daily serve and protect Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The runners in timed events will be off first and these aspects of the race are certified by Athletics Canada and accredited by the Manitoba Runner's Association. The RCAF Run has become an attractive race option for serious runners who like the course and the race organization. Anyone who wishes to take part in any aspect of the race who requires a service dog or support runner is most welcome, says Lt.-Col. Clouter. "This is a run that is truly for anyone who wishes to take part.'' For families, or indeed for anyone wishing to take part in the 3km Family Fun Run/Walk, this event offers a great opportunity. Not only can families stroll along the flight line where a selection of aircraft will be parked; they will also be able to get up close to other planes, take a tour and chat with the men and women who fly in them. At the end of the run or walk, everyone is encouraged Are you interested in a career in Aerospace?
