No Spit and Hurri...... :(  The other disappointment was the B-52. Did three laps way out over the Lake, and then one flyby ! I wish the airshow controllers could get their excrement together......And being a free airshow, with a minimum donation of 10 bucks to park ( for the United Way ) I'd like to choke all the cheap A-holes that parked outside on the roads. More outside than in !

Nice lineup to greet you when you enter the parking lot.....



Opening ceremonies....



And now a 'proper' flag !  ;)  :P



This funny looking thing. Wish it woulda flew !



Some old R4D types.....

Luvley pics Cap, especially the Buffalo, just gorgeous!  I've got some more pics I took this weekend that you'll like especially, stay tuned!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Great pics - thanks for sharing them. Particularly liked the Griffon scheme.

Thanks guys ! Too right about the Buffalo...what a beautiful aeroplane ! The Griffon is also a real beauty in that scheme. But what wouldn't be ?

DAMN!!! Wish I coulda made it.



Betcha those are the ones Carl Millard bought years ago. I remember seeing the first one arrive at YYZ, one helluva lot different from the older DC-3!

edit; Just noticed a sharp looking Navion under the nose of that R4D.  :wub:

edit redux: And get some pics of the Catalina eh?!
