I wouldn't do it myself either unless I would know that it was truly spectacular! And even then the costs had to be justifiable by some sort of way. But nah...200 dollar for an airshow...hard to justify []

jan........at a lot of our airshows (not that many anymore, unfortunatly) they make you pay a fee to get in, but usually its not that much, and when ever i go up to the local airport, hamilton, i will gladly pay whatever they ask, mostly because it is for the canadian warplane heritage, a non profit flying museum......they own one of only 2 airworthy lancasters ($C2000 if you want a flight in it [:P]), 0ne of only 3 airworthy fairey fireflys, a bunch of old trainers, a consolidated PBY canso flying boat, a hawker sea fury, a lysander, and a whole wack of non airworthy ex canadian airforce jets......they used to have an airworthy hurricane (lost in a hanger fire, they saved the lancaster[]) and an airworthy corsiar (sold it for some strange reason [:S][:'(][:@])
mike..........if you want to be a photo tech in the canadian military, thats an airforce trade......and the closest airforce base is now borden, since they closed downsview......and i am not 100% sure you can be a photo tech reservist........i could be wrong........and i used to be in the airforce[]..........i was a CF-18 airframe tech. hence my soft spot for aircraft of any type [:P]
Good to hear the canso is still flying. I love that aircraft. I remember when they sold the corsair! I was so angry!
I haven't dug too deep into the website yet, but from what I gathered it seems like it could be a reservist trade. I'll have to double check it. I'll get some friends to look into it for me who are in the forces. What rank were you? Haha, my dad flew as a hobby and I did a few lessons many years ago, and absolutely loved aircraft since I was a little kid.[]

I'm jealous [:P] I always wanted to be a fighter-plane pilot (who doesn't?), but my slight colorblindness was a definite dealbreaker, while you can even have glasses and still apply for tests to become a pilot [
Alright lets do this! *Take off* Okay now lets sit here for the 12hr flight! ... Haha
Looks like you did see the other one! Bomb bay doors open too. With the demonstrations you guys have over there I'm surprised I don't see some miniature bombs heading right for your head![:P]
jan........nice shots of the brit lanc [:P], too bad they cant meet up one year and do a killer fly by somewhere, 2 lancs, couple hurricanes, bunch of spits, and hell, throw in some mustangs......imagine the sound of all those merlins...........[:O][
denise......if you're going to go to that airshow, i would suggest looking for bryans tips on shooting airshow pictures......i read it, and it helped me a lot, i was way rusty from not going to one in years. and definatly take your 100-400, and maybe a short zoom (cant remember off the of me head what you have), you may not use the full 400mm, but you will definatly appreciate the reach. i have some shots of trainers where you can see the passenger taking pictures of us [:P]
mike.........cant you get us in with your CBC creds??? [
jim
That'd be like a WWII superiority show. Imagine the crowd they'd pull in for that.
I wish it were that simple... I'm contemplating renting a 100-400 for the show. I talked my girlfriend into going to it today[]
Mike
thought i would add another shot........let me know what you think of this shot [
