That show with the F7F and F-14 continues to be the one show I think of when someone asks me what my most memorable show was. The formation barrel rolls were jaw dropping. The strange thing is I don't think I have ever see any photos or series of photos showing the barrel rolls. Perhaps all of the photogs, including my self, were too busy picking our jaws up from the ground.

The Crane and Anson will one day fly again...nothing that a bunch of financial donations can't fix!
I see you snuck in a couple of shots of the Lanc getting a weight and balance done at Air Canada! Hadn't seen those shots before.
Nice!

Those were some great years for the Wings of Eagles shows.
Watching Vern and Jimmy V. flying the bigrigs together was fantastic too!

I remember that!

I was at that show, but I was, um, five years old.....
