Hey Nutbar!
I'm wondering how close we are to each other... when I saw the Mustang, Mitchell Lanc and B29, they were flying over my house in close formation. And when the Snowbirds came over, they didn't have the smoke on. Are you out by the airport?
I was hoping that during the airshow they'd swing over our place (few blocks from the brow), since we were having a family BBQ... but they didn't make it this far.
I was also hoping to make it to the show Sunday, but had to drop the wife off at the airport in TO for 10:30... so for Fathers' day the boy and I went to Rockwood and celebrated 107's 100th birthday.
We also rode in L&PS #8 and the caboose (my boy's first cupola ride!)
And my personal favourite, TTC 327
OK, so Rockwood isn't part of Hamilton proper, but it's less than a "mile" away... (Hamilton - Halton = mil... mil < mile).
For anyone who hasn't been, and is looking for an interesting day trip in the Toronto (and Hamilton!) area, I can highly recommend the Halton Country Radial Railway museum. It's one of the most visitor-friendly rail museums I've been to. They have a large collection of cars they run every 20 minutes (a different car each trip), and lots of interesting displays.
