Found out that RG Spitfire will no longer be able to attend due to prop maintenance, it will be replaced with their Hurricane.

Also, a MH-53 from the AWSTS out of Norfolk Virginia have been added to the static display!

Hello all - here are some pictures from the Windsor airshow this past weekend. The weather was not so great...cloudy, rainy, dark... Other than the weather, the show was good. Lots of different types of airplanes flying, with a nice selection of Canadian based warbirds :D . There were several no-shows, including the AWACs from the UK :( bummer... I highly recommend this airshow, and hopefully it will continue to grow.

This one was a first for me, very cool

Viper North MiG :D
