Toronto Airshow 2008
« 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:

Afterwards, Eric and Logan dropped by for a little jaunt on the boat and then a lobster and steak dinner at the marina.  Thanx for coming by guys!

I hear Logan suprised Heather with his ability to scarf down steak and potaoes.  The kid is a good little eater.
