Off to the Air Show

Today was the day for the big air show. We left early and avoided this traffic jam on the highway by parking in a farmer's field and avoiding the admission charge as well as the traffic!

It wasn't long before lots of other people had the same idea. There were at least 100 of us out there!





Trying to keep up to this military jet with the camera while protecting the ears was definitely a challenge.


All of a sudden we saw the RCMP bike police coming down the highway and we feared the worst.
We were told that the Snowbirds would not perform until we were all off the farmer's field because we were directly in their flight path. The fact that we were in direct line with the runway when the other planes were performing hadn't seemed to have been an issue...
So we moved a few miles away and still saw an amazing show.
