Wow!!! Gerry, you have managed to get an incredible lineup of a/c for this show

I really wish I could be there, but, right now, I'm headed to Greenland on an LC-130 for a week...talk about great timing (SIGH)

I hope you all have an AMAZING weekend and I can't wait to see the tonnes of photos that I'm sure you'll be taking.

Very cool to see some variations of the C-130 in the lineup!!

Here's to blue skies, burners and an afternoon beverage...or ten

Ya, that looks way better than the photo tour pit. Now I really regret shelling out $100 for the photo tour. Just seems like such a big waste of money now, especially in light of the Monday access for SWOAB members at YXU.

Don't forget photo tour has access to the airport before the gates are open so at least you got that for those early morning shots.

I paid for the Photo Pit as well. Is it still possible to get access at YXU as a SWOAB member?

That is true AB......my only worry, especially with the tour pit being moved 50-75ft west of where it was last year, is that the sight lines to the runway will be obscured by the static display more than '07. Thats one of the reasons that the SWOAB pit looks much more well placed to me than the photo pit.

the nice thing about where the SWOAB pit is thats considered show centre and the airboss is right next to us.

So how do we identify ourselves to gain access to the photo pit?

Craigs got a good point, i don't know any of you, how do we identify ourselves in person...........after you meet me you may deny ever having me on this board..........LMAO.

Sorry guys the Pit will be back towards the taxiway I put it out to far and in the farmers field. Still a good spot though.

Does anyone have information for arrival or practice times for Friday ?

Sorry Folks, my computer did not pick up on the last posting.

Thanks GMAN for the Friday schedule.

Are all the Hogs landing in CYQS or are the ones that are flying Sat/Sun staging out of YXU?
