Ok. There was an airshow at Portage La Prairie this past weekend at the
air
training base called Southport. I got a "few" pix despite the weather
being
really nasty for this time of year. You would expect it to be around +20 C
but it was closer to 10 C and windy. Unfortunately, the ceiling was fairly
low too which limited the aircraft to a low routine. There wasn't much
sunshine either but I got what I got! ENJOY!

Enjoyed! Love the Sabre and the special Hornet - thanks much!

Hi Bob! Thanks! I got a bunch of pictures and picked out my faves to post
here. I doubt that we will get to see the Hornet/Sabre/Snowbirds combo ever
again. (Beyond this year, anyway). I wish the weather was a little better
with a bit more sunlight and fewer clouds/higher ceiling. Oh well. You work
with what you have.

Take care,

Nick

The local news here said that the Snowbirds and the F-86 are scheduled to do
a show in Sault St. Marie. I was flipping channels, so I missed the part
about when it was supposed to be. It a relatively short drive, so I'll try
to find out the date.

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto
