Excellent Show!! So nice to show a good airshow in Ottawa.
Olivier. I wonder how many people looked at your FW and thought it was WWII vintage. Would have loved to have stood there and listen to some guy explaining to his girlfriend or kid what kind of airplane it was and what is was used for during the war, etc, etc. lol!!
Mike: The photo your got from Veronique and posted on Webshots is fantastic. Much better quality than the version posted on the Flypast Forum.
The Flypast on Sunday morning was fantastic. The flew right over my house twice. After that I had no problem convincing my kids to go spend a could of hours out at Uplands.
The Sabre was great too!! I went to the show with my Dad, who had worked in the control tower at Cartierville back in the late 1950s when Canadair was churning out Sabres. Brought back many memories for him too.
Sounds like the chance to be in the B-25 during the Sunday morning flypast was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would love to get copies of any additional shots taken during the flypast.
