CNE Show

Headed down to the waterfront in Toronto to see the show. Was really looking forward to seeing a F-104 in flight again ( haven't seen one since about 77 ) too bad he was quite far off shore and i couldn't film it, but the Mig 17 put on one hell of a great show and turned right over my head on his passes :D and was nice to see a P-51 doing loops and rolls ( been to 8 shows this year with no such manuvers in a prop warbird )

Some very nice shots there. Thanks for sharing. Great to see the Snowbirds back in action too, so soon after losing a bird last week.

Cheers,

I received the following information in an email from a list I belong to...

Lastly for those of you tracking tail numbers, the new #8 jet is 114159.


For those of you tracking tail numbers:

1. 009
2. 131
3. 172
4. 149
5. 081
6. 104
7. 019
8. 159
9. 089
10. 174
11. 161

The #8 aircraft that was lost in Thunder Bay was #120, or as the Deputy Crew Chief said to me "We didn't loose it, we know exactly where it is!", they are indeed all in good spirit after the short hiatus.


Credit goes to Ken Lin.

Send me an email if you don't mind. I'll put you in contact with the list I got this info from. I don't take notes like I should. The data flow from that list is too much to keep up with. In recent months with the Tutors being sold off there has been much discussion regarding former Snowbird Tutors and their tail numbers.
