Hamilton, Ontario, Canada – June 16 & 17, 2012
To celebrate our 40th Anniversary this year, the Hamilton Airshow 2012 is set to feature one of the largest gatherings of warbirds in Canada. In addition to all of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum’s flying aircraft (Lancaster – yes expected to be ready, Lysander, Firefly, B-25, PBY, etc.), other warbirds to include B-29, B-24, B-17, Helldiver, P-51, Wildcat, Skyraider, Avenger, Hurricane, Spitfire, Corsair, P-40 and more. Additionally, the RCAF Snowbirds and CF-18 demo, Matt Younkin’s Beech 18, Golden Hawks Sabre and Red Bull racer Pete McLeod will be performing.
Here’s a link to the HAMILTON AIRSHOW 2012 preview video. It will give you an idea of what to expect:

We try to keep the Performer listing updated as soon as we receive any changes. Additional aircraft are still expected to be announced.
We have made improvements over last year’s show. We have revamped our ticketing system so you can buy online, print at home or have it scanned from your smartphone. To ensure smooth traffic flow, we have also hired a professional parking specialist who is very experienced in moving large volumes of people to and from the offsite parking. The flying time of the show has also been increased to 4.5 hours to ensure the stars of the show, the warbirds, have ample time to fly.

Here are a couple of additions to the static display at the Hamilton Airshow since our initial post:

Martin Mattes’ L-29 (Photo: Kool Shots)
Eric Presten’s 1909 Blériot XI (reproduction)
We are also pleased to announce that Mikey McBryan of Buffalo Airways/Ice Pilots fame will be making a special guest appearance at the 2012 Hamilton Airshow.
Lovable, hilarious and obsessed with AC/DC, Mikey McBryan is “Buffalo” Joe’s youngest son, and the future of Buffalo Airways. He was raised in the hangar, but Mikey never aspired to be a pilot like his dad. Instead, he earned a degree in business and is now being groomed to take over the reins at Buffalo, though Mikey jokes that this only means “getting in more trouble, more often” with Joe. With the moral support of his orange office cat, he navigates the company through financial turbulence, in-flight emergencies, and one of Buffalo Airways’ most epic and harrowing journeys ever – all under the watchful eye of his dad.
You never know where Mikey will show up during the Airshow weekend but we’re pretty sure at some point he will be in the Museum’s retail tent helping to peddle the Buffalo Airwear line of clothing and goodies.

Will there be separate motor-cycle parking?
Looking foward to it already!
