Canada Remembers: Air Show 2006, Saskatoon *PICS*

[BC_MoM]

I was in Saskatoon the past week visiting relatives. We did a lot, but the funnest thing was going to the Air Show, dedicated to the veterans. Here are a some pictures. Sorry, I don't remember any names of the planes except for one.

None of these pictures are to be reproduced. They are copyright me. You have been warned.

The beautiful Buffalo (Canadian).. a search and rescue plane. The plane that requires the shorest amount of distance to land and take off in the world. There are only 9 still flying in Canada.






Here's a bomber plane, I'm pretty sure it was American.


No one expected her to drop bombs! She flew by several times, dropping bombs.. I think everyone must have soiled themselves the first time one exploded. LOL


More coming . . .

And the rightly famous.. Canadian SNOWBIRDS!








Upside down!


More coming . . .

One of the planes in the show; I can't remember what it is..


This was one of my favourite planes, my all time favourite is the F15 Eagle, though.


Two more coming . . .

And here are two random pictures of hot air balloons right over my Aunt's house.





That's all, folks! I hope you've enjoyed!

Those are some great pictures!

I used to love going to the Toronto Air Show at the CNE -- but its been a number of years now since i've been in town on a Labour Day long weekend to see them (I think that 1998 might have been the last one).

The Snow Birds are always a great show, as well as the water-drop plane (can't remember the name) showing how to scoop up and drop water to combat forest fires.

We get a good showing by the Americans in the show as well (F16s etc), but its always kind of odd watching the Stealth plane flying around the Toronto Skyline!
