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!
