MEC on Sunday
June 17, 2015 - Mississauga - Executive Centre
Tracy Simpson Reports:
We decided that the girls needed at least one more day to ensure that they were flying and landing well so on Sunday, I opened the watch and Bruce came down to close. When I arrived, I was doing my head count and found Ieva and Hawkeye on the Accenture building and Adrianna… …well now where did you go? She was on top of the Morguard building last night at dusk. I scanned around and found her on top of the Desjardins logo at MEC 3! Awesome dearie, you’re just fine. I set up at the Accenture parking lot to watch the other two and I have to tell you, had I not been paying attention I would have missed Hawkeye’s flight and been none the wiser. She was sitting on the top of the mechanical area on the roof and I could just see the top of her head. She flew out straight towards Morguard and I just caught the movement out of the corner of my eye. I watched her flap like mad and flew directly up to the Morguard sign on the west side of the building and land like aces! She stayed for 42 seconds and then flew back down to the exact spot she just left. Her attempt to sneak one flight in while I wasn’t watching didn’t work. Nice try. A great flight by Hawkeye, you’re just fine missy.
Ieva. Hmmm. She has flown several times over the past few days and has demonstrated an ability to land fairly well. It would seem that her confidence has taken a knock or two though. Each little flight she did was braver and bolder than the next until something didn’t quite work out and she was back to running and screaming. She is certainly not far behind the other two girls and is doing ok. Bruce took over for the afternoon and had Adrianna flying between MEC rooftops now. Hawkeye made another great flight that took her to a window ledge on Morguard just below the roof line. Ieva practiced running and has now become a pro at it! As the evening set in Ieva took another flight, this time a big one, that had her heading home to the MEC complex. She was too low and Midnight knew it so she met her out above the Hurontario intersection and flew with her. Ieva brushed MEC 1 and continued north out of view with Midnight flying with her. The two then came back and Ieva tried for Morguard. No dice. She then circled around and tried CIBC and was too low for a sign or roof landing so she settled for the low ledge she had been on before. A great flight that took a good deal of puff out of her. There she stayed for the night and although all three girls are now more than capable, Bruce and I agreed that a few hours spot check tomorrow was prudent.
