Spent today heading down to the waterfront of Toronto to see the show.
For the life of me driving in that town sucks :evil:

The show was good, fair weather and like most Canadians got to see my first F22, WOW just incrediable.

Looking forward to seeing AIRIC's images as for he was at the other end of the show line were the aircraft get a little closer.

Wait, I'm confused.

Is the F-22 the one with the red nose and with USAF under a wing or is it the white one with "Starfighter" under a wing?

Don't be silly everyone knows the F-22 has twin tails. Its' the one with red and white stripes on the rudders. You Canucks just don't know your airplanes.

Really? It thought that twin tail job was a F-111.

Now I'm confused! I think you might be right under closer observation it does look a lot like an Ardvark. The F-22 must be that gray plane with four engine pods under it.

Ah, right.

So the twin tail job must be a F-14 Tomcat then.

Wrong again, the US Navy has retired the Tomcats so it must be something else.

I went to the Cleveland air show yesterday and I guess they shared the flyby of the F-22s and the B-1. All I can say about the 22 is WOW! Once they got done with their demo we were treated to an aerial refueling involving the 2 F-22s and a KC-135 from Springfield OH ANG. They sent an Aura down from your show too.
