The airport there is a former military base, CFB Summerside, it was home to the Argus before they were retired. They have a few a/c there on static display, an Argus, a Tracker and a CF-101B Voodoo. Part of the base has been converted to an industrial park. Its been a while since I've been there but according to the first press release I read, they say they will have more room for static displays at Summerside then at Shearwater or at the Haliafax airport (Not quite sure what they mean by that, I was at he '06 Halifax Airport airshow and they had a huge static display).

I hear they are planning on moving the show to a new venue every few years, hoping they can bring it to the Moncton airport some time. At least Summerside is not too far away, about a 90 minute drive from here.

edit: Great pics Dave, I have to get ready for work right now, but Ill have another look at them later, Ill be saving some of those CC-177 pics for my reference album. Thanks for posting.
