May 10, 2010, Waterloo, Ont. – Tickets for this summer's incredible
aerial display, The Waterloo Aviation Expo & Air Show, taking place
Father's Day weekend, June 19th and 20th, are now on sale at www.waterlooairshow.ca .
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will headline this spectacular two-day event that will combine aerial and ground displays that will entertain, educate and inspire anyone who enjoys the thrill and power of flight. Mix in military power featuring modern jets, esteemed warbirds, incredible daredevil aerobatics, and top it off with a plane landing on a speeding motorhome – and you have one of this summer's best reasons to head to the Waterloo International Airport!
Other highlights will include the B-17 "Memphis Belle" Flying Fortress — the formidable WWII bomber; a Navy Corsair — representing the Canadian Navy's 100th anniversary in 2010; a Russian MiG-15, a 1960s L-29 Delfin military jet trainer and the much-admired historic Harvards and Tiger Moths.
Come out early because the tarmac will be covered with static display — additional aircraft that don't fly in the show, but allow people to see them up close, photograph them, talk to the pilots and crew, and sometimes climb aboard.
Highlighting the static display will be the Silver Dart — a replica of the original Silver Dart that flew into history books 101 years ago as the first flying aircraft in Canada. This replica aircraft travelled across the country last year commemorating the 100th anniversary of powered flight in 2009.
All this, in addition to aviation displays and exhibits allowing the public to discover and explore military and civilian aviation up close.
The Waterloo Aviation Expo & Air Show will include food concessions, a Kids Zone, a beer tent and autograph signings. Don't forget to bring along your own chairs, sunscreen, hats and cameras. Don't miss this unique and exciting family outing!
