Orillia Air Show

[WingsofFury]

Well, not a huge one, but the Snowbirds and Century Girl were there.  Sure was nice to see them perform the high show again, brought back a lot of memories.

WoF, you are some kinda sorcerer. Thank you for bringing a steady stream of aircraft porn into my life. It saves all the switching between army.ca and airliners.net. Cheers.

I was there! Awesome show!!!!! Even better pictures!!!

"Century Girl", was here on the ground awhile ago, not as impressive as in the air.  nice paint job though.  Always nice to see the Birds airborne and dancing thier magic.

BYTD

Glad to accommodate.

After Trenton's show next weekend there'll be a lull for a couple of months until I get a few things firmed up.  I might be going stateside to do some work for a couple of different wings in either July or August so if that happens there'll be plenty more eye candy for everyone.

Great shots, what kind of camera/lens are you using?

I will be shooting at the Trenton show and will be using a D200 with the Nikkor 18-200MM hoping to get some good pictures.

Thanks.

Armynewguy, thanks for your kidn words.

I'm sure you'll do just fine with that setup.  :nod:  I'm only shooting a Rebel XT (aka 350d) w/ a 75-300mm zoom non IS lens, not the greatest setup in the world that's for sure.

The nice thing about Trenton is that it faces north which will mean the lighting should be perfect for the entire show.  The only thing that I don't like doing is sitting right at show centre (it just kind of happened that way in Orillia due to the shoreline) so I'll be sitting on the western side of the crowd.  The shots I took in St. Thomas were all on the western portion of the crowd line where the demos and flybys were doing their turns and approaches which certainly helped with the vapour trails.

Cheers, see you out there!

Cool  I will be there. Love them planes any US planes coming

 

[WingsofFury]

Bradlupa - no US assets as far as I can tell.  This is more an "Open House" showing pretty much everything in the CF along with some classic warbirds like the Lancaster and others.

Should be a fun show and I think it's kinda neat that the base is opening up to show people what kind of gear the CF is using these days.

CANFORCE Demo's will include:

CH-146 Griff - SAR Demo
CC-130 Herc
CC-150 Polaris in refuelling demo with 2 CF-18's from Bagotville
CC-177 Globemaster III
CF-18 Demo Team (410 SQN - Golden Girl)
CT-114 Tutor (Golden Centennaire)
F-86 Sabre (Golden Hawk scheme)
Snowbirds
Skyhawks

Warbirds include the following:

Lancaster
Spitfire
Mustang
Hurricane
Corsair

Should be a nice mix of planes, hopefully anyone who has a free day this weekend can come check it out!
