A long tiring day at Vintage Wings of Canada at Gatineau Airport.  Good crowd, great weather and no problems.

Nice to see lots of beautiful aircraft flying around, like their Hawker Hurricane shown above.

Most were old favorites that I’ve seen before but a few, like this Canadair water bomber, were new to me.  The organizers frowned on volunteers lugging cameras around so I was only able to get a few shots.
