It was a Blue Angel

Okay, that makes sense. Too bad the whole team didn't do an English Bay/Kits flyby.

Thanks for the updates - gotta admit, it does a bit of the excitement out of arrivals Thursday if they all show up early. Of course, we know the Blues are practising on Thursday, and the CF-18 demo usually practices early evening. Hopefully, the A-10 decides to do a practice run. If "half the s...

Just following up, the show has told me they are working on finding a replacement squadron, fingers crossed.

We had a really sweet flyby in 2016 featuring the Snowbirds in the lead, followed by the CF-18 demo jet, and then the Breitling Jet Team in the back.. That was very cool to see. Did anyone get a photo of that, it was only one pass? I remember that clearly: I was on Huntingdon Road and would've had ...
