Spectacular. First time I ever saw an airshow at night (near the end of the video). Cameron, MO.

A night time airshow is definitely an experience.

They had a glider pilot and a Harvard pilot do a show after dark at the Summerside Airshow last summer.

Was visiting the in-laws, and we all went down to the waterfront to take it in.

Wow.  That has to be the largest collection of gonads this side of I don't know where.  That Steward fellow has a death wish.  The night show would be incredible to say the least.  Thanks for sharing that.

I've taken a bit of a hiatus from photography the last couple of years, but I will be attending the Quinte show next weekend with my camera in hand.

Hope to post some photos soon thereafter in this thread, if that's okay?

At work here in Kingston this morning and Lancaster and B-25 Mitchell flew overhead.. very impressive and unfortunately, I was slow in getting my cell phone out and was unable to get a shot.

At work here in Kingston this morning and Lancaster and B-25 Mitchell flew overhead..

I was on one of the higher floors of a hotel on Queen St W in Toronto, when I heard a very distinctive Rolls-Royce Merlin rumble.  I got to the window in time to see the Lanc fly by.

My first thought was "I don't remember doing hallucinogenic drugs this morning....."

I didn't know we had a flying Lancaster in Canada  (I now know there are two in the world -- Mt Hope.... and over there  where they're focused on BREXIT).  It was awesome.  I'd still love to see a Mosquito flying (apparently there's one)..... and a Lysander, just 'cause I'm a bit of a freak.  ;D

Canadian Warplane Heritage museum (same museum that owns the Lancaster) owns and flies a Lysander. Unfortunately you won't see it flying in the near term,  a few scratches need to be buffed out!

Yesterday the Lanc flew over town twice, once mid-morning and the other time around noon. Got some pictures but no good when you enlarge them.

Did you get a shot of the F-22/P-51 formation?  Beyond seeing how the Raptor could move, I thought that was the highlight of the show.

Just a very rough edit of it so far....hope that you don't mind the quality.

 

[Journeyman]

Nice. Thanks.

And for a size comparison folks, the Mustang is actually in the foreground.  :nod:

 

[WingsofFury]

It's really a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing plane to look at...and loud.  Awesomely loud.

You probably didn't see me waving at you then either as I was in the B-25. It was a memorable experience.
