Snowbirds and CF-18 Demo Team in Ottawa September 20, 2015
Anyone have any idea what the event will be? It's on the RCAF web site but they only list the location. I thought Vintage Wings was out of the air show business and the listing specifically says Ottawa not Gatineau..

I'm guessing they are there for the Battle of Britain flypast. VwoC might coerce them over the river for a demo since they are already in the area.

The Snowbirds and CF18 will also be performing at Gatineau on June 30th as part of a Vintage Wings youth summit event. Its open to the public of course.

cgzro, any Vintage Wings aircraft going to be flying?
The site says registration is not permitted at this time. What's the ticket cost?

Just came back from the hgr and from what I've been told, all the fighters and some of the yellow wings will be flying. There will be a general admission to the site at a cost of $15.00 but this is not advertised at this time; a press release should be out this week on this.Meecka wrote:cgzro, any Vintage Wings aircraft going to be flying?

Hmph. Glad to hear the fighters will see some airtime. Haven't been out there in a year, but I've heard there have been drastic changes. Good to see they will be fielding some of their own aircraft for demos.

We had a great event! The rain and strong winds didn't materialize, and we flew warbirds all Saturday except for when the Snowbirds and F-18 flew. Terrific day!
And Sunday of course we flew 4 fighters on the wing of the Lancaster over the Parliament buildings. And many passenger sponsor flights spread over 4 days.
Some were sponsor flights in formation...
But Meeka, I narrowly averted tragedy! When I picked up Betty Boop off the glareshield to reposition her, her legs broke off! Oh no!
Calling in the entire resources of Vintech Aero, we conducted 5-min surgery, and attached the missing appendages.
Her ankles are a bit thick right now, but she's still standing.
