The U.S. Air Force’s F22 Raptor, F16 Viper, and P51 Mustang
Today was the last day of the air show, so I went down to the lakeshore this time to view it further west, from the dock of the rowing club. On Saturday Arliin and I were at the National Yacht Club, east of Ontario Place and beside Toronto City Centre Airport, which afforded great views of the planes taking off/landing at the airport and the aircraft making their wide turns around the CN Tower.

Drinking beer and enjoying lunch on the patio, I completely forgot to put on sunscreen and didn’t notice how scorched my skin was getting, I was so preoccupied with shooting airplanes.

Today’s vantage point by the rowing club was closer to the action and just as skin-frying hot. I slapped on the sunscreen this time and brought provisions (grazing food) and remembered to bring the hood for David’s Panasonic Lumix.

[...] This year I found myself wanting the Arliin connection again and didn’t take nearly as many photos as I did two years ago. Arliin and I spectated the airshow twice in 2007, the second time sitting on the dock of the Argonaut Rowing Club. It was a scorching hot weekend, I remember getting sunburned at both the yacht club and the rowing dock. I also drove us to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum that weekend, so we really got our fill of aircraft between the museum and watching the airshow over two days. [...]
