Seem rather short for an airshow especially on the price of the tickets is there any ground display aircraft that you can look at ?

More people believe me when I say that the pointy things sticking out of the nose of the Griffon are lasers than that they are part of the airspeed indication system. The explanation of pitot and static pressures is apparently presumed to be a deception/cover story.

You should tell them it's a chemtrail maker.

I am really sad to report there is no static display as the aircraft originate from Pearson International Airport.
As for price join the crowds and go to one of the Toronto parks along Humber Bay or Marilyn Bell park and watch for free.

Some old lady not far from here called to complain that we were flying low and spraying her house with agent orange after she saw the 4 black smoke trails behind us.

Does the guy with the sheep farm at the end of the runway still whine about us making his sheep retarded and their wool fall out? ;D

It never changes.... Someone called the MPs on us once for driving through town in a Bison. It was blowing black smoke from the exhaust. Just so happened, we called that Bison "Old Smokey".

As expected, the winds wreaked havoc on the show today with white caps on top of 6-10ft waves which were swamping the markers out in the water.  The Arcturus did a few passes and then the show was called due to conditions.  Weather looks better for the next couple of days.

Arcturus flight today:

What an awesome day in Gatineau yesterday - the warbird formations were just out of this world and it was totally worth the 10 hour round trip drive from Toronto.  I only wish I could have spent some time with the warbirds on static as they were all on the active, but such is life!

Great job, hats off to you all!
