Marking 100 years of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Quinte International Airshow at CFB Trenton, ON, hosted a warbird flyby featuring a Lancaster, B-25 Mitchell, Firefly, P-51D Mustang, Spitfire and Hurricane. Video by Adam Landau
... it's privately owned... FYI: Our Federal Liberal government contributed NOTHING to the Canada Day flyover in Ottawa (over Parliament for the 100th RCAF anniversary event)... Trudeau has "other spending priorities". Great to see "VERA", the Mitchell and the newly finished Firefly visit from the CWH !
Great stuff, sat watching tv last week, at home in Roseneath when an incredible noise came from the sky directly above us. Stepped onto the deck and thought i'd gone back in time as an Avro Lancaster, a Spit and a Hurricane soared directly above us, used to be in the ATC back in England and we had a Spit in front of our building but never got a chance to see anything like what I witnessed last week 3 planes that saved the world. Thank you whoever flew them.
A few days ago I heard it coming ( I live in the south end of Ottawa, I ran in the house and yelled the Lancaster is coming, everyone came out, it went right over our house, what a thrill!
My Dad was with 420 squadron.. Tholthorp Yorkshire..early 44 till end of hostilities one of the last to leave ..he was in the photo section there..he watched the Lacs leave..they never saw action just Helibags did..heres to the greatest generation!
Great to see the old birds flying again. I served in the CAF/RCAF for 35 years, 1981-2016 and retired from 8 Wing Trenton, (ATESS). After having worked so many airshows, it's one thing that I don't miss.
