Title: Toronto Airshow 2008
Post by: JohnnyCastaway on September 01, 2008, 02:34:35 PM

we got a chance to get down to the show on Saturday, and view it from Hanlans point out on the Island.  We were thinking of taking the boat out, but once we saw where they were held off Gibralter point we're glad we didn't as we would have been too far away to get any half descent pictures.
 
As far as the show goes, it was kinda tame this year, compared to past years, F18, F16, water Bombers, a few aerobatics pilots and of course the Snowbirds. 

here's a sampling:
