Thereare going to be some fly bys tomorrow as they rededicate the Sabre. Not sure if I should just stay home, as I'll see everything coming and going, or go down to the park. Hopefully the weather holds out !

FYI the fly overs were a bust. Low ceiling, and the Sabre that was going to fly is still hangared here with engine trouble. Oh well.

So today is supposed to be the day. Good timing as well, for BoB day. The Snowbirds are supposed to fly over at 3pm. Check here this afternoon if it all goes according to plan !

As promised !

The Sabre in the trees.

Thanks Rick. I was hoping to get a good shot with the sabre, but I scoped it out and there were too many people about, and too many trees. It wou;ld have been hard to judge where to be when they came in, and not get caught out by either or both !

I have seen a couple of good pics tho. One guy was obviously in the know and was down there when they did their fly-in/ practice run at around 1:30. I was still at home then.

I'm a bit late to all this, but nice photos Captain and nice job by the restorers. It looks like it was a great day, and the Sabre looks superb.

Thanks Zac. Ya it was awesome to see them fly over like that, really low !
