Kamikaze
“The waterways that make up the three prongs are Burrard Inlet and the north and south arms of the Fraser River. Yesterday, after leaving Jackie to her work at Special X, Chuck and Joe had driven downtown to check into their hotel and then had set off with Jackie’s map to the Mud Bay Airport. Now, alone in his daughter’s car, Chuck took the same scenic route around the tip of Point Grey, the chunk of the city between the inlet and the north arm, to the bridge that led to Highway 99 and the border.
On reaching the highway, the retired USAF colonel sped through the soggy darkness for Boundary Bay, following the slick asphalt ribbon around that bight of the Pacific and its tiny neighbor, Mud Bay. Just north of the border, along the top of Mud Bay, Chuck left the highway for a country road that led him through misty farmland to the water’s edge.
A sign was picked out of the blackness by his headlights. “Mud Bay Airport.”
Airfields don’t come any dinkier than this. An old military hangar sq...uatted in a field, flanked by rows of huts just large enough to house single-engine planes.MoreLess
