CFB Borden is having an event on June 24-25th with displays and air shows for anyone in the Borden area who would like to attend. I saw a poster for it in the Future Shop window for it today.(I wasn't sure where to post this, if it's in the wrong spot feel free to move it)

PS Folks>

For those into Air Shows specifically, the Canadian International Airshow this year at CNE is having a F-22 Raptor!!! I myself got all giggly when I seen this and it confirms I will be going for sure... There are also many other awesome demonstration fighters there this year like F-16, F-15 and CF-18 and F/A-18 Superhornet!!!

This is going to be one heck of a show compare to usual. Strangely I didn't notice the Snowbirds on the line up and thier ALWAYS there?!?!? Anyone have any info on that??? Maybe I just missed them in the lineup whe I got all giggly about the F-22.... 

Just think, 72,000lbs of static afterburner thrust blowing by you 1500ft away!!! THAT will wake your adrenaline glands up!

Anyone plan on going/want to setup a "meet and greet"??? I'm going Saturday Sept 3?... The first day of the show...

A Raptor, eh? I might take a look into the show, only problem for me would be getting there.

Or that new standard of travel distance/time measurement being adopted in Canada - Three Large Double Doubles.

Cool; I'll be arriving in Borden around that time for basic. I doubt I'll be able to attend though.

 

[pteosborne]

I'll be there, attendance is mandatory! 
might be fun anyway though.

Thanks Jake! For the record, the Snowbirds are 5th on the list:

Hopefully I can convince Mr. TMM and TMM jr. this is worth the drive up for our anniversary!

 

[Jake]

Happy Anniversary! I'll be going to Borden too.

 

[PViddy]

I'll be working the Tutor display... See you there!

 

[foerestedwarrior]

I have to work down in black down. Aslong as nothing breaks, I might make the long trip(range road is closed for the air show, so you have to go through angus) up top.

Looks like I'm going with my friend Petra. Should be fun...maybe I'll see some of you guys there.
