11th Annual Brantford Charity Air Show
Look up ... way up ... and enjoy the beautiful sight of our nation's biggest 'birds' as they take to the sky. Gates open at approximately 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 1, 2010, with the Opening Ceremonies kicking off the show at 3:30 p.m.
This year's show is going to be nothing short of incredible! The 2010 line-up includes many beautiful aircrafts that tell the tale of the evolution of mankind's time in the sky; from the Lancaster Bomber to the Firefly, these planes are nothing short of awe-inspiring to watch as they rise into the sky.
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the Skyhawks - our county's Military Parachute Team - are prepped and ready to put on spectacular performances! You'll be holding your breath as our beloved Snowbirds fly in formations so tight, it seems as if their wings might touch, and the parachute team floats through the air executing choreographed routines so precise, it's hard to believe they are hurtling to the ground at break-neck speed.
The show will be complete with aerobatics, multiple fly-overs by various aircrafts and a couple of surprises that you'll have to be there to see! Gates open at 11:00 a.m. - browse through the Brantford Charity Air Show's display of aircrafts, tour selected planes, take a look at Canada's history of aviation at some of the many historical displays, and enjoy food and drink from various vendors. Opening Ceremonies begin at 3:30 p.m. - be sure to grab your spot well before then! This show draws a crowd of roughly 25,000 each year, holding strong to its reputation as one of the best in southwestern Ontario.
With this and a whole host of other participants, this show is one no one is going to want to miss! There is no admission fee, however, donations are accepted and appreciated upon entering the Brantford Municipal Airport; on-site parking is available for $10.
