from my buddy's condo roof top. annual tradition. it's good to have friends with good real estate.
That's what I'm planning on doing. Got a friend with a Condo on Queen's quay with a rooftop terrace. He couldn't book a BBQ this year but at least we'll have a good view.
Last year the f-18 just buzzed the top of his building. Damn that thing is loud!!!

I want to go. The Harrier is scheduled to come
Mystery Act #1 This act prefers to take-off and land over water and off of one of the smallest runways in the the world. The most famous celebrity naval aviator may have flown this in the sequel..
Mystery Act #2 - Not sure what this one is. Mystery Act #2 is recognizable for its sound, helps people in need and won't have any trouble navigating the airspace in front of the CIAS crowd. Stay tuned for details. We'll update you soon!
Ehh. They totally backed out. http://cias.org/insider/beta.php Now it's the Sea King helicopter (Not that it's not cool) instead of Harrier and another F-18. CF-18 was already on the list and the second surprise revealed to be an American F-18C. Not even a Super Hornet.
Rest of the fleet http://cias.org/performers/

Wonder if I'll be able to see it from my side of the lake
I'd love to go, but I don't really want to spend 3/4 or my day getting there and back

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 can attest to that. Went in April. While I was returning the Rental car in Honolulu I saw a pair of F-22s circling overhead.
While I was on the big island I also saw a Blackhawk practicing touch and go landings in the town of Hilo.

No F22 this year. 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.
