It’s rare that I’m in Toronto on a long weekend, but I committed myself to volunteering on Saturday and needed some catch-up days so here I am. Two years ago Arliin and I joined a bunch of her friends who are members at the National Yacht Club and have an annual tradition of watching the airshow over Lake Ontario from the outdoor patio. (Last year I skipped the airshow and decided to go flying instead. It just didn’t seem the same without Arliin there, and I wanted to be up in the sky.)
This year I found myself wanting the Arliin connection and viewed the airshow from the National Yacht Club patio again, but 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.
I’ve uploaded a few photos and a videoclip of the F/A 22 Raptor in action from this afternoon:
I have one more early morning so I’m hitting the sack early tonight. A day of sun has wiped me out!
