Red Knight final fly-past

The last flypast by the Red Knight included two "passes" over Portage la Prairie Friday afternoon. The brilliant red T-Bird was escorted by two Tutors. For Capt. Dave Curran, inset, it was his last flight as the Red Knight — and possibly the last time a Red Knight will ever leave a jet trail.
