I would 100% be ok with the demo team safety pilot flying Venom and just doing low approaches for 15 minutes. If only it were that easy!

Oh man, I'm really starting to regret getting tickets for Saturday... With all the cancellations, we're down to one fighter demo and seemingly no replacement for the F16.

It's definitely not the fault of ASL/organization, but it's kinda scaring me to think how little "power" there will be on display.

I will admit, I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of Fast Jets as well.

I mean, I know last year was a special case, but losing the F-15 and F-16 is a real kick in the backside for the Saturday folks.

It was bad enough we didn't get the Growlers or the B-1, but now it's kinda weak on Saturday.

It's a good airliner show, but I do enjoy the "turn and burn" part of the airshow best.

I am surprised that there are no JAM birds there - I mean, they're right on site!

Here's hoping the weather holds!

Trust me you guys got it good in the fast mover department. A vast majority of shows live with a jet team and single ACC demo...or maybe just a single ship demo.

The biggest problem here is we have been spoiled with ASL. Especially after last year with 4 demo teams and the T-Birds.Reality can suck some times but we have to deal with it.Friday is still gonna rock if everything shows up. And we'll get some RCAF F-18 action all weekend with the demo and the refuelling demo and the Blues. Still a good show. I'll bypass the Toronto CIAS and take London anytime, appreciate the effort they put in to get us the show.

Any word on the recent US Navy Hornets cancelling ?
Not listed on the App any more. I know the Growlers cancelled.

Navy super hornets are still on the website. Could be a glitch/error on the app
