In preparation for tomorrow’s air show, I was cleaning up the video recorder’s files and came across this.
I took this at the CFB Trenton air show a couple of months ago. The Lancaster from Canadian Warplane Heritage in Hamilton taxis in. Shaky video but still a nice look at the magnificent bomber.
I was lucky enough to score some VIP tickets to the Air Show being held at the CNE this weekend. Sunday, a couple and friends and I will be right down at Lake Ontario watching a tremendous lineup of aircraft dancing through the sky. The latest schedule I’ve seen includes:
CF-18 Hornet 12:30 CF18/F86/Tutor 12:43 Spitfire Demo 12:48 Mike Wiskus 12:56 Horsemen P-51s 13:08 Blue Angels 13:30 F-22 Raptor Demo 14: 40 F-16 Falcon Demo 14:53 USAF Heritage Flight 15:06 Matt Chapman 15:14 SAR Helo Demo/Cadets 15:26 Open Airspace 15:41 Snowbirds/Hawk1 15:50 Hawk 1 Demo 15:55 CF Snowbirds 16:01
That makes 4 hours of fun! The US Navy Blue Angels are making their first appearance since 1983 and should be a great sight. Having a Raptor show up is also a treat.
We’re in the middle of a beautiful stretch of weather and the forecast is looking like we’ll have perfect conditions. Cameras are charged up, extra memory cards are packed and I’m ready to go!
