Windsor International Airshow
 

Well folks,

The first event of the two I mentioned in a previous thread has come and gone. The Windsor International Airshow 2009. Here are a few pics of the vehicles that were present. Most of the pictures were taken at the closing of the event because we were too busy with the public.

Don't forget, next weekend, 6 September at the Canadian Transportation Museum....I heard through the grape vine that 3 more vehicles just signed up for the event....a WW2 Dodge, a "White" and something on two wheels...

See you there.....

Cheers

Well Done
 

Congrats Mike, looks like a good turnout. I was out of town so I couldn't make it but I'm happy to see the support that you got from the "519 Crew". Well done and I'll see you at Heritage Village next week.

Mike: Would have loved to attend from Owen Sound, but wx forecast was the pits for your area. Intended to rack out Fri ni motel, Sat ni Bruce's, but...another time?

Regards

airshow and Essex show
 

No problem Jon....maybe this weekend...gonna be a good turnout...and great wx.

As mentioned in an earlier thread this weekend is building up to be quite an event!

I have heard from the www.CTMHV.com that there are already vehicles arriving for the weekend event. Some very rare armour and softskin vehicles. So far: White Halftrack, GMC Fox, Ford MK1 Carrier, Dodge WC, M37 3/4, Ford GPW are already there with more arriving between now and Sunday. There will be participants camping out overnight Saturday and there is lots of room for more. A fantastic facility which caters to all needs. There will be Vets bussed out to the site and a vintage aircraft fly-by and a whole lot of civilian pattern vintage tin. They (the museum) have scouted out a trail which can be used for those who wish to take their rig for a ride through the forest. From its meagre beginnings a few weeks ago this event has taken on a life of its own. There will be vendors selling military items and more are welcome so if you have some gear to unload don't be afraid to bring it.

This one day event 6 September is just the starting point for a much larger full blown weekend event which is in the planning stages for next year. Come on out, support the CTMHV and MLU and show off your stuff.
