  1. hi Paul,

    If you get near Toronto you might want to check out Wings and Wheels Hobbies - lovely shop with plenty of stock and some out of the ordinary stuff.

    CWHM is fantastic, allow yourself plenty of time to chat with the very knowledgable and friendly people there - and if you get a chance to see the Snowbirds in action take it!

    Hope you don't mind me posting a shot from last year's Hamilton show..

  2. hi Filler,

    I have Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Friday down for this year. I might do the park & view but very much weather dependent, (I am about 75 minutes away so this is an option for me).

    I used to get a FRIAT ticket but the cost is too steep for me these days, especially when there are no guarantees on the weather. If you have the cash I think it is a nice package. One of the benefits is that you have a good chance of some nice weather over six days I suppose.

    You also have to vacate the FRIAT enclosure at about 18:00 on arrival/practice days I think, which means you might miss any late stuff, (PR9 last year for instance).

    The Mach 3 ticket will get you some nice take off & landing shots on all days, and whilst you will be closer to the flying than nearly anywhere else in the main show ground, there are areas on the other side of the airfield that are closer to the action given that most displays do not turn over the crowd line. (Farmer's fields and such like - if it bothers you that your money will go into a farmer's pocket you can always donate direct to the RAFCTE).

    If the Russian Knights attend this year I don't care where I am standing!

    cheers
