I have a convention that week but I think I'll skip that and go to Quebec City for the airshow.
It's not far from you and you will never see this again that close.

Take her with you. Promise a special meal in one of the great bistros in the old city. Oldest walled city in North America.

Wow!...what a line-up.

I think the Snowbirds do a good show, but it sure would be a heckuva lot more impressive if they were doing it in CF-118s....those Tutors just look a little dumb, but I suppose they can fly nine of them for less than the price of two or three Hornets, and they are well suited for the demo role.... It's very difficult for them to do that "scare the livin' pancakes right outta tank nut" sneak pass maneuver that the T-Birds and Blues make such a crowd-pleaser with though.

These people don't realize it yet, but they're all just about 1/10th of a second from soiling themselves...

Cool lineup!

The only team I haven't seen live are the Patrouille de France! I wish they could perform in the USA like the Italian Frecce de Tricolori did in 1986 at the Moffett airshow.

Saw both of them back in '88 when they did some local airshows here and down at Griffiths AFB in Rome NY.
