The Labour Day weekend is probably one of my favourite weekends of the year. I can’t help but look forward to it, even if it means that it’s the unofficial end of summer.

The weekend usually consists of a round of golf, a few BBQs, a trip to the Ex and, my personal highlight, the Canadian International Airshow. This year I caught the Sunday and Monday shows as well as Friday’s practice routines which are always a treat because the pilots will generally push the limits both height and speed wise.

Highlights of this year’s slow included:

- A Spitfire (My favourite plane)
- CF 18
- F 16
- The Ministry Of Natural Resource Water Bombers and Eurocopter (Amazing, bring them back next year!)
- Mike Wiskus (Please don’t turn your engine off anymore, it gives me a heart attack everytime you do it)
- The Snowbirds (Always fun)

I have to admit, I nerded out hard at the Airshow this year.

Next show, The Dubai Airshow. Or, if I can find time make it, The San Diego Airshow.
