Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Maybe it should be the rainbirds? Capt. Bob Stephan of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds keeps raindrops off his head as he sits out the storm in his jet cockpit at Pearson International Airport yesterday. A planned media flight had to be cancelled because of the weather. But all nine members of the aerobatic team will be soaring on the weekend over the Canadian National Exhibition.
