Three flyable Canadair CF-5Ds in the hands of three new private owners, two T-37Cs (formerly owned by Lud Currao and Wayne Brooks) brought back into annual. Cool!! 8) I'll be flying both types later this year. Expect to see them on the airshow circuit. Oh and more Canadair T-33s of course.

Vintage Wings of Canada is hoping for the first flight of their Swordfish since it arrived in Gatineau. We are also looking forward to seeing the Sabre in Golden Hawks colours. Through the use of decals we hope to have the Corsair in Hampton Grey's Pacific markings.
