It was just confirmed that the Russell Aviation group of Niagara Falls Ont will once again host it's airshow . We are striving to become the largest prop only airshow in Canada flown from turf.
For you that aren't familiar with this group of aircraft we have a Spit IX ,a BoB Bf109e flown by Marseille a Hurricane and Harvard > Confirmed so far are the B17 Memphis Belle , A Ju 52 and a fly past of the CWH Lanc and more are anticipated . The dates are the 8-10 Of June . Last year the 109 and Spit flew about 5 times each

Country: | Only 3 days til our little airshow so if your around Western New York , or Southern Ontario it might be worthwhile to take in the show on the 9/10 june and you might get a chance to see the most complete Battle of Britain flight in the world with the 109e4, Hurri, Spit , and Lanc the Great War Flying Museum and their 7 WW1 replicas B17,b25 Harvards P51s SBD's possible Lysander no jets at all . Weather looks like it will be about 30c or 80 and clear shouldn't be much haze. Some of the shots from last year

I was born and raised on the north side of Buffalo, about 20 minutes from the Falls. I would like to check out what they have, if possible, the next time I go home.

Country: | Dang I missed it. Can't make it this time - are you guys going to be at Geneseo this year too?
You're not too far from me, perhaps I'll bop over when I have three hours to spare (and the gas haa haa) before they tighten the passport noose.
I think I went there when I was a kid, a long longlong (etc.) time ago.
I would love to hear that Emil run, considerin' she's the only one with a DB in North America. *drools* | |
