It's the challenge of the year happening at the Windsor International Airport on August 15, 2009.
The winner will get bragging rights for the next full year. The challengers have measured up and fear no opponent in this battle.
$2 dollar parking fee with a canned good for an entrance fee to support the Goodfellows. Come on out enjoy some wings from some of Windsor's best "winged" restaurants.
Hey, it's aviation related and we will be selling Gala Tickets and Air Show tickets for the August 29&30 air show. The line up for the show is immense. They must have heard something.
We will have a table set up inside the CH2A hangar playing some video of the performers coming to our airport. Get a glimpse of what they do the best, fly.
Rides will be available.

The Wing Off is going to be tasty and challenging, not only for the competitors but the hot wings could produce some excitement all it's own.
It's all part of the fun happening at Your Quick Getaway this sumer. Fun and education for the whole family. Don't miss out. Seen our billboards?
Wait for the commercials.
At the Air Show, let's not forget to mention the bounce castles, Canadian Recruiting Office complete with camo face painting, and vendors from the local community. Vintage war birds, and the list is endless.
Check out the possibilities of our Armed Forces.
Say hi to some of the veterans that made sure we have our freedoms here in Canada, today.
Vintage cars on display with each show day being different. Military vehicles like we have never seen before.

Watching from the outside is just not the same.

Well yesterday was the Wing Off, all in all it went pretty well and had a decent turn out. Not sure how much we ended up making but we think we did pretty good. Later in the evening the Stearman and Chipmunk were giving rides, everytime they'd come in to land they'd do a nice low flyby infront of the hanger. Tom Siimes also brought his harvard out and did a couple flyby's. It was a nice kick-off for the airshow in 2 weeks.

I'll post some pictures later tonight.

BTW I found this pretty funny. During one of the tours of the Lanc these 3 drunk girls came through, when they got to rear they saw the windows on the floor and asked if that's where the crew would moon the German's. One of the girls then went out side and took a picture of the other one mooning her through the window. Other than those 3, everyone was well behaved. :lol:
