It was a spectacular show. The team at VWoC have really learned how it's done.

No one got hurt, there was a crowded ramp jammed full of eclectic airplanes, good weather, and a 30,000+ crowd. Huge success.

And it was good to see your Harvard there, Ollie! Ours is U/S and needs engine work, so we were a bit short of T-6 types.

I had the most fun of anyone at the show, flying the P-40 and filling-in for Rob E in the Hurricane for the formation flights.

Dave

Great pictures, Ollie!

Thanks for posting. I was at the air show in 2011 and thought it was one of the best air shows I had ever been to. I couldn't make it there this year (not happy about that), but certainly hope to get there in 2013.

Ron

Yes, It was a great show. If Ollie doesn't mind, I can add a couple of pictures of the show that I took.
The VWoC Fighter group, Mustang is still out in Alberta.




The Mighty Sword.Dan Dempsey makes his last flight in the VWoC Sabre.






The VWoC Corsair flown by Paul Kissman





Dave Hadfield in his very smooth P-40 aerobatic display






VWoC Hurricane which was flown by both Dave H and Joe Cosamano






CWH Firefly which is now the only flying example in the world at present.



CWH Lysander Rick Rickards takes the Lysander home to Hamilton.

CWH Lancaster gets airborne from Gatineau on Saturday. A troublesome starter on no 4 engine , keep it from making the Battle of Britain Flypast at the Canada Aviation Museum on Sunday morning.

Thanks guys.

Very nice shots mrp!
