What is the other theme?

It looks like they are going with the "British are Coming" and "Skyraiders". Both themes don't tend to get much attention from show organizers. This should be a great draw. I am looking forward to it!

Looks like I need to make my Calender.

So far it looks like a great line up. Can't wait to hear more. Thanks for the Heads up!

Just finished marking my calendar AND making reservations at Motel 6 in Canton. We're really looking forward to being there.

I, have not heard much feed back, are we on the right track?

Your definitely on the right track. This sounds like a great event, and this will continue to be my yearly trip back east for an airshow/warbird gathering. I've made three trips now, and recall the rumors of an official airshow, minus the warbird themes. Now that it's on track (warbords continued), this will be my fourth year in a row to the T.O.M. show.

I also think the British/Skyraider theme is a good one, as I don't recall seeing more than two of the same type mentioned, at any of our shows here on the west coast.

PS, I agree with Rob R., you definitely need some Tiger Moths and a few other British/Canadian trainers mixed in.

[Ontario-Warbird]

Sounds like one heck of a show, Merlins everywere

Will their be a Spitfire/ Hurricane, Lancaster formation?

Also is TE308 still one of the Spits?

The plan as of now is on Sat, Fly the me-109 out and have it run back into the airport with the 6 or 8 spitfires on it's tale, later the lancaster and 3 hurricanes will fly together.

On Sun, the spitfires, hurricanes and lancaster will all fly together.

What spit is TE308, bill greenwoods?
