    [​IMG] This is to all you Canadians (and other people who might know, but probably mostly Canadians).

    I wondered if you know the name 'Michael VandenBos'.
    There was a Canadian woman here in the Netherlands, and a girlfriend of mine started about family of her living in Canada, by the name of Michael VandenBos. 'Captain Michael VandenBos? Ofcourse I know him' was the reply.

    So I wondered if any other of you ever heared the name...

    It vaguely rang a bell, but I had to google the name.

    He was with the Snowbirds (a well-known Canadian precision jet aircraft flying team) who died in an accident in 1998.

    Can't really say that he's a household name, though.

    That's what I expected, Splunge.
    I know who the man is, well, at least from what I heared about his family. Perhaps this woman lived near Whitby, Ontario. It surprised me that mentioning one name (for me an unfamiliar one) could give such a reply. Just 1 name of the millions who live in Canada. So I wondered, and thought I could ask. No big thing, actually, but surprising.

    Chev, don't say you want to be one of them... :p

    Indeed, cause Chev would have to fight me. With rusty forks. To the death. In the pit of doom.

    This is my turf, biatch.

    /me marks his territory against Master of Nuhn's legs.

    :grin:

    Ontopic, never heard of the man. Google gives a school named after him and like Splunge mentioned, the snowbirds.
