Here they are.
I left before Snowbirds. I have seen them many times before and wanted to head to my buddy's cottage.


Breitling Jet team






I wasn't expecting this. I put my camera down and they decided to drop the flares.





US Navy's F/A-18C. Notice the tailhook for the carrier landing?



F-16


F-16 $ P-51



CH-124 Sea King







This old perverty guy kept taking video of the crowds. He was waving the camcorder like a can of bug spray left to right for good 2 hours.

Looking back pics from 2014, this year wasn't as exciting.
I don't know why Air Canada can't do a loop with their fleets. It will be really close to see a 777 or 787 doing a fly by.

And for the record, if you want a real air show, go to Hickam AFB in Hawaii. F22's and F15's constantly in the air. I remember taxiing down the runway awaiting for take off, and watching an F22 taxiing down an adjacent runway and taking off, such a badass piece of machinery.


That'd be cool to see, but nothing compare to the real airshows in Europe and Asia. Something like that can be seen in any areas where air force base is near by. When I was traveling in Korea, I saw an A-10 flying along the highway and F-16s were seen frequently.

I think it only showed up for 1 year back 5 something years ago.
At least that's the only time I saw it in TO.


yep.. that was the last time I saw the raptor as well. How it "hovers" still amazes me. I think in the early spring, I'll make a trip somewhere in the US where I can see the raptors perform.



F-22 hovered?
You must be confused with the Harrier?

it doesnt really hover, but its close to it. the correct term is controlled stall.

The Sea King was hovering over the Rogers Center during the Jays game Sunday. Woulda been fun for them to land in the Dome for shit & giggles. \:D
