This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

That formation flight was great fun -- first time we've had 5 fighters away at a show. And I had to really scoot -- I was last-up for an aero routine, and had to get out from that and joined-up in that 5-plane as they were running in for the first pass, the fighters being sandwiched between the Lancaster and the B-25. (Interesting re-join. It's nice to fly something with "snap".)
Then on the flight home Sunday evening the Spitfire joined me (we both decided to re-fuel in Peterborough --the other 3 have longer legs) and I had the delightful view of a Mark XVI over my shoulder as we buzzed along the S. Ontario countryside on a perfect summer evening.
Gotta get a helmet cam...

Flew home directly from my routine , parked the Fleet and went to my inlaws for a Fathers Day BBQ
Wasn't there a half hour when you and Mike came directly over us.
Nothing better than a fun flying w/end ending with a cold beer in hand while getting a flypast by a

and a P40
Thanks

It was so great to see a Warbird show back at Hamilton. Brought back a lot of memories. For a first show in a long time they did a good job and had lots of great aircraft on the ramp. Can’t wait for 2012.
This is a link to some of the images I took

I wish I could have been there, but things didn't work out for me being part of the VWoC team, and there was no provision for fly in visitors. The VWoC hangar was a pretty quiet and empty place that weekend.
