Avenger
Sky Harbour Aircraft workers have been busy lately attending to a work order on a Grumman Avenger.
This particular Avenger has in fact seen battle. It flew off British and Dutch aircraft carriers in WWI1. Sure,
it's incomplete - it's rear gunner turret has been removed to allow for passenger flights, but she's still a
magnificent sight. Sky Harbour is aiming to have work complete by July 24. Cleaning, masking and
prepping for paint work to commence: Brad Marsh and Robert Hartfield (inset, left).

We don't think anyone can accurately
p currency changes. What we do know, and what is most important to understand, is that when you
look at currency movements over the long term, fluctuations tend to even out over time. The long-term
performance of the Canadian dollar, for example, has had both long gains and persistent dedfnes. These
fluctuations average out to add or subtract only about one per cent each year to investment returns.
As a result, if your investment was sound on a long-term basis before the currency rose, and the long-term
outlook for that Investment remains strong, a currency fluctuation should be seen as just a minor bump on
the mad to success.

portfolio is the best way to reduce risk and prepare yourself for whatever trends may happen in the future to
both global currencies and global stock markets. Make sure you consult with your financial advisor* to help
you maintain a globally diverse portfolio.
