Excellent show today! Honestly, that was the fewest cancellations that have probably occurred for this show. Only the C-5 and F-35s were no shows. It's definitely more of a possibility due to this show being a solely military show, which most don't really understand.

Huge thanks to Hook and the gang for knocking it out of the park again, especially with getting the Thunderbirds only a month before the show!

One of the highlights for me was the Eagle Celebration formation with the 2 New Orleans Eagles and the F-22. It was only one pass, but I bet you won't see that anywhere else, specifically a Canadian show!

Can't wait for next year!

Here's a boat load of photos!

First set....Hornets!

ASL has vastly exceeded my already high expectations. So good to be back after a three year absence.

Another batch from me... The TBirds photo ship made for a great addition to the stack pass.

Here are some shots of the statics. I used my cell phone for these ones lol. Really impressive static display!

Looks like there's some space to add more for next year's show ;)
