Did anyone attend? I heard that a Spitfire attended. Was this Gerry Yagen's Spit? Did it operate out of the City Centre airport or Pearson International?
On to another topic - did the CWH Firefly attend the show on Saturday? I was at the dedication ceremony for HMCS Haida after its restoration and subsequent relocation in Hamilton. The Firefly did several nice passes, rare to see that aircraft airborne, as well the PBY Canso. Th B-25 and Lancaster did a nice formation flypast, then broke up for some single passes. What a tremendous day. So much history. HMCS Haida looked fantastic!
