Join us for two weeks spotting in Canada where this mega tour will take in three air shows and an extensive road trip from Niagara Falls to Quebec City. As usual, we will take in as many airports, general aviation airfields, military bases (from outside), museums and wrecks & relics as possible.

The first weekend will see us take in the air show at CFB Borden the second weekend will be the turn of CFB Bagotville and the third weekend will see us finish off at CFB Trenton. This will give several opportunities to see the Snowbirds and hopefully a nice selection of active Royal Canadian Air Force assets as they celebrate their 100th anniversary in style.

After the first airshow, we will spend week one taking in Niagara Falls, Hamilton, London, & Toronto. Around these cities we will visit the following museum collections – Canadian Air and Space Conservancy Museum at Edenvale, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton, No. 6 RCAF Dunnville Museum at Dunnville, Waterloo Warbirds at Waterloo & Jet Aircraft Museum at London. Permission has also been sought for visiting the International Test Pilots School Canada at London.
