Bucky Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Hey guys, I'm heading off to an airshow in Cranbrook B.C....about a 3hr drive.It ain't no Duxford,but it's big here in the Kootenays.I'll post pics from my hotel room after the show....should be fun! the Snowbirds will be there,as well as a USAF F-16,CAF F-18,P-51 Mustang,F4U Corsair,and others. http://www.cranbrookairshow.com/pdc/airdemos.cfm Quote
JensenPark Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Hope the Mustang makes it. Last I heard (yesterday) it was grounded in Calgary because of glycol leakage problems. Quote

Bucky Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Hey Guys, The airshow was great.I'll post pics once I firgure out the resize thing. Some disappointing stuff... The opening skydive act was scrubbed 'cause they couldn't fly out of Kelowna-weather. The CAF F-18 wasn't there 'cause the plane and pilot was deployed to Libya. The American fuel tanker plane wasn't there 'cause it was deployed to Libya. Some good stuff.... The weather was pretty decent....no rain,some sun...windy at times. The Snowbirds put on a great show. The Mustang showed up!...after they said it wasn't coming. The USAF F-16 show was incredible! The heritage WW II flight was the finale..... This was my first airshow I ever attended and has wetted my appetite for more! Bucky. Quote
Bucky Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 My "friend" Bonny wanted to take these 2 A-10 pilots home as a souvenier,but all she got was a lousy t-shirt...lol Quote
Bucky Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Y'know what guys, I'm gonna wait 'till I get home tomorrow to post more pics....the internet is slow friggin slow in this hotel. Oh,I also have some video too. B. Quote
Bucky Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 Well I'm home,but haven't figured out the resize thing yet....but I was able to upload this vid to utube... Quote
