Finally a show in my "back yard"! I am still very much looking forward to the YAF show, but I don't have to drive 9+ hours to get to Flight Fest! Woooo hooo! (my best Homer Simpson)

From the website here is a list of potential attendees...

-> Canadian Forces Snowbirds
-> CF-18 HORNET demonstration (Additional Picture)
-> U.S.A.F Heritage Flight Team (Thunderbolt II and F-86 Sabre Jet)
-> Julie Clark T34
-> Paramount Aerobatics YAK 55
-> Pitts Special Aerobatic Team
-> Canadian Harvard Association
-> Ragwings and Radials B-25 Mitchell and Cessna Bobcat
-> Great War Flying Museum - 4 WWI replicas
-> Manfred Radius Glider Aerobatics
-> Supermarine Spitfire
-> Beech Staggerwing
-> T-28 Trojan
-> Waco Taperwing
-> Formation Floatplane flyby by West Capital Aviation
-> Ottawa Area Radio Controlled Model Aircraft Demonstrations
-> Model Rocketry Club Demonstrations (Pending)
-> First Air Fly-By (Pending)

OK so this isn't going to be the biggest show ever, but I find it very encouraging that they are starting to take on a warbird flavour. And the move to Carp is positive in my mind as well.

Regards,

Mike
