This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Yagen's Me-262 now confirmed to be at the show. Looks like we will now just be passing through Detroit attending Hamilton both days now.

The Me-262 is a nice addition to the Hamilton warbird lineup. Looking forward to the show!

Great news. :prayer: Got a new (to me) EF 400 f/2.8 IS that I'm just itching to try out. Early bird photo passes are in hand. Can't wait.

Jim,

We can't wait either!

At this point, the Mosquito is scheduled in on Wednesday June 12th. We are hosting a forum on Friday June 14th at 10 am in the Museum called "Mosquito Memories". Several speakers are lined up and we are thrilled to have 22 Mosquito veterans scheduled to be in attendance. Considering they are all about 90+ in age, this number is fantastic. They are coming from the States as well as across Canada to see the Mosquito. Canada's most decorated Mosquito pilot, Russ Bannock, is expected to speak as well.

Also, as a reminder, the Mosquito is scheduled to fly in the airshow on both Saturday and Sunday (originally was just Saturday).

The Mosquito is a real treat to see and hear. All will thoroughly enjoy. It sounds like two mustangs in formation. Mike Spalding does a great job in dipping a wing toward the crowd for a "photo" pass. Everyone who worked on the plane deserves high marks. She looks fantastic.

Any idea what time the Mossie is due to arrive at Hamilton (on Wednesday)? It would be great to catch her on arrival.

Less than a week now to this outstanding warbird air show! The CP-140 Aurora has now been added to the unbeatable flying lineup and I am really looking forward to next weekend.

http://www.hamiltonairshow.com/performi ... craft.aspx

The Mosquito, Lancaster, Spitfires, Hurricanes, Hawk One Sabre, Me-262, Fw-190, AD-4 Skyraider and a LOT of other great warbirds will make this one of the best air shows of the year I have no doubt.

As of right now the MAM Flight schedule calendar on the website has Mike departing from here in the Beach at 9 am on Wednesday. The ME-262 is also suppose to leave on Wednesday but doesn't have a posted time, from Suffolk.

We (VA Beach area) have rain forecast for today and possibly tomorrow so hopefully the runway won't be too wet for the Mossie's departure.
