Another great show by VWoC, lots of great acts. One of the best shows this year IMO, little of everything.

What kind of planes are #1 and #4?
Nice shots, what kind of lens are you using with your 50D, a 100-400?

Looks like it was a wonderful show.
It is so nice to see a P-40 flying in Canada again.
Picture #1 is a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (stork)

Picture #4 is a de Havilland DH-83 Fox Moth:

Not to split hairs but it was actually a Slepcev Storch homebuilt and not a real Fieseler.

I'll say.
I got to fly the Fox Moth in the photo, and then take Stocky flying over the Parliament buildings for a photo shoot with Airic.
Smooth hand, Stocky. He's 88, but what ever he once had, he's still got a large piece of.

OOops about the Storch. The Slepcev is an Aussie homebuilt, right? It's T/O and LDG performance is ridiculous if I remember correctly. The darn thing can do both between 50' - 100'.
By the way, Dave you're a lucky guy to get to fly that Fox Moth. There couldn't be too many of those around. What a neat airplane to have in your log book.

Wow, I've never seen a picture of the F-86 in flight with the canopy open. I didn't know that was allowed. Are there any other jet's that you can fly with the canopy open?

Dave's flight with Stocky was an emotional event watching Canada's highest scoring living ace go up again. Many of his children, grand children and great grandchildren were on hand to witness it. I was over by the vetran's reviewing stand listening in as the WWII fighters flew by, every eye was full of tears. An amazing event as usual.
