My year so far...
1. Shows I've attended...Friendly Foes (Russell); Soar With Legends (CWH); Gennie (HAG); Classics At Collingwood (CCAF); Thunder (YAM).
2. Favourite event...difficult, but possibly Friendly Foes, since seeing Spit, Hurricane and Me109 airborne thrice each at one's first event of the year is a KICK!

The relaxed atmosphere at the Collingwood fly-in was nice too.
3. Dislikes/quibbles...The mess the highway system is around Detroit right now, resulting in my arrival at Yankee at 11am instead of 845!
4. Favourite "act"...also tough, but probably from Friendly Foes again, watching Mr R's three fighters tailchasing each other round Niagara South. A tip of the hat, too, to a long-time favourite act we may not see again: the sublime sailplane routine flown by Oscar Boesch, who retired this year.
5. New types seen in the air...Me109 (of course) at FF and Yankee/Thunder; FJ-4B at Yankee.
6. Interesting thing...The 109 engine certainly qualifies (even hearing it was a remarkable treat); have also seen a near-complete Halifax, the front end of a very early Avro Anson in a private museum collection, and an amazing time-capsule ex-RCAF PBY Canso in a hangar where it's been stored since the early sixties. Also caught, by chance, the unloading of CAvM's Hispano Buchon, returning "home" to the new storage hangar from a period of loan at WCAM in Winnipeg. But maybe the niftiest would be watching an engine runup by CWH's newly-completed, bumblebee-striped Lysander.
7. Shows to look forward to...Carp (Ottawa); CNE; Brampton and Guelph fly-ins.
8. Shows I'd like to see...Legends (of course); Marlborough NZ; Wanaka NZ; Shuttleworth evening display...and some year I must do Oshkosh, too.
9. Museums seen this year...Toronto Aerospace Museum (Downsview--have a painting in a display there this year); RCAFM (Trenton); Carlaw Memorial Military Museum (Campbellford); CAvM (Rockcliffe/Ottawa--have a painting in their art display this year too); Canada War Museum (Ottawa); CWH (Mt.Hope/Hamilton).
Cheers
