L. J. Lee & T. J. Lilliman,
founders of the Canadian Bushhawks Liaison Squadron, near Geneseo, New York, 1992 |
Who are we…
We have been a mainstay of the Warbird
Airshow scene in Canada and the northeastern US since 1991.
We offer airshow spectators a tightly
disciplined display of Liaison flying in the Aeronca L-16A aircraft, from our
signature preflight sequence to simultaneous propstop. Our airshow routines include formation display,
aircraft performance, and recreation of the liaison aircraft’s reconnaissance,
rescue and attack co-ordination roles.
Our “Formation Flight Syllabus,” first
published in 1994, is the first FAA and EAA-endorsed manual for formation
flight training in high-wing, light liaison aircraft, and is now in use around
the world. It is also one of the
official formation training manuals of the JLFC, EAA Warbirds’ FAA-approved
Liaison and light trainer formation network.
THE CANADIAN
CONNECTION:
A Canadian Artillery Sergeant, Charles Simpson, was on exchange with
the U. S. Army in Korea when hostilities erupted there in 1950. Charlie flew L-16s in combat for several
months.
He was shot down in one late in the year, and was transported back home
to recuperate.
Charlie now lives in Gravenhurst, Ontario.
He is an energetic volunteer each
year at the Muskoka Airshow.
We are proud to call him our friend.
