We watched the Battle of Britain celebration flypast from the parking lot of the Canada Aircraft & Space Museum. First the CWH Lanc flanked by a Spitfire, Hurricane, P.40 and P.51 Mustang. The current RCAF followed on with a Chinook and 2 Griffin helicopters. Then came the magnificent C-17 followed by an Airbus 310 tanker with 2 CF. 18 Hornets in the refueling position. Bringing up the rear was the 9 Canadair Tutors of the ‘ RCAF Snowbirds’. All heading for the Canadian Parliament buildings. Quite a show!
