We've been lucky with Ospreys out here on the far east coast (CYYT). The USAF, USMC tactical and HMX birds transit thru on occasion. Looking forward to seeing these guys doing an approach or two on arrival. Always impressive to seen them transition as they scoot along.

Then looking forward to snagging some patches.

Very nice and rare add.

Insider email yesterday announced a Vampire as flying. I am ASSUMING this may also do some formation passes with the CF-18.

That would be nice, and I do like some classic jets!

However, as far as "turning and burning" goes, which will always be the raison d'etre of an airshow in my opinion, there's still not a lot. No 5th Gens (apparently) flying, and only the Canuck-18 for 4th Gen stuff. I would have sworn there was an F-16 flying at one time, but I might have recalled that wrong. Sadly, sometimes we Canucks are a bit stingy on the fuel. Where are the F-15s, F-16s and Super Bugs? That's what we need! Well, that and a B-1 demo (I can wish, right?). Other than the Talons, we've only got 1 supersonic plane flying?

That's, sadly, a long way from the previous two shows.

If the ASL guys have more stuff up their sleeves, I suggest getting it out there NOW. With time this short, it's going to be putting people off to see this weak a flying display.
