It's the morning before a weekend airshow and it is obvious Carol Pilon is tired. And it is obvious why. She is in perpetual motion, moving through a hangar at Quebec's Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (CYND) from project to project, person to person, task to task, observation to observation, concern to concern. As head of Third Strike Wingwalking and owner of an old and needy 1940 Stearman, she has a shoulder and a half full of responsibility, and that includes the lives of the pilots and people she employs as well as the satisfaction of the audience she will perform for this afternoon, hanging upside down in aerobatic maneuvers at 500 feet agl.
