Tomcat7742 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I've seen the CF-18 demo quite a few times, they put on a really good show! - Chris Link to post Share on other sites
James15Wing Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Well, I wouldn't go that far yet. I read an article in the Leader Post and Tourism Moose Jaw was suprised to see the Snowbirds performing in July at Moose Jaw....they had no idea. Performance was labelled an "Airforce Appreciation Day" in the article. If it turns into a full blown air show, all the better, but I am taking a wait and see approach here....I don't see the air show committee solving it's cash problems that quickly. Nonetheless, I will be in attendance.As for a fully painted jet....I'd welcome it....as long as it isn't gaudy or over the top. They can call it whatever they want. If the CF-18 and Snowbirds are performing then I am there. Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 St Thomas?? I guess that will be the replacement for the ever missing London air show. Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Woohoo, coming back to Halifax. I will try to save some memory space on my memory card this time. I ran out of memry half way through the Hornet demo last September. Link to post Share on other sites
Rick in Ontario Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 St.Thomas should be good. LOL wonder if it will be at the dragstrip. Thought I heard something about the promoter of London involved with St.Thomas We need Trenton again. Link to post Share on other sites
Kzee Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Hey Cheetah, According to the Snowbirds 2007 Schedule they are appearing in Moncton on June 16 & 17. Have you herd if Moncton is having an air show or is just a Snowbird demo? It would be great to see the another airshow back in Maritimes. I miss the old days when you could go to at least 1 airshow a month during the summer. Edited December 13, 2006 by Kzee Link to post Share on other sites

We use to have airshows here regularly at the old CFB Moncton in the 70's. Now with the new airport terminal occuping the space of the old base, an airshow would be possible by the old terminal. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep a lookout for any info. Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Saw the tail end of a Canadian CF-18 demo in 2006 (we arrived a little too late ). Saw a couple of tight turns and the pyro part and that was neat. One of these days I hope to see the complete demo. Link to post Share on other sites
Auger Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 St Thomas?? I guess that will be the replacement for the ever missing London air show. London Air Shows are history as I understand it. The Airport Management forced out the long established promoter years ago. Primary focus for London is economic developement of Airport. I think that former promoter is the one behind St. Thomas (only 25 min. from London but 25% more ;) ) and has tried to set up something with the City of Sarnia in the past. However both St. Thomas & Sarnia are much smaller airports & thus smaller shows compared to the old London Airshows. Link to post Share on other sites
BurntEM Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 St. Thomas is looking pretty good: http://www.wingsnwheels.ca It looks like a combination of some from St. Thomas (they had the Snowbirds last year) and London Air Show past organizers. They are going to have the Snowbirds again and the CF-18 Demo Team, ACC East Demo Team (F-16), KC-135 refueling demonstration, etc, etc..... It is a smaller airport but the main runway is 5000ft? They sure have alot of performers listed, even if only half show up it would be a pretty great show. Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 In real life I kind of doubt I'll be in a white suit. More then likley, shirt and shorts...Still be 6'4" big blue camera bag, either a old issue green field cap (if I can find it) or just a simple ball cap with a red maple leaf and ARMY/ARMEE on it. Tony will still be running around going "Da Plane- Da Plane". Link to post Share on other sites
MaxHeadroom Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Halifax International Airshow was cancelled. One of the runways at HFX is being resurfaced, and they couldn't find another venue. No home means no go for Halifax air show - CBC Nova Scotia Link to post Share on other sites
