Problems with the American government in Washington DC forced all American military aircraft to stay home! This meant that there were no demonstration aircraft, nor demo teams such as the US Navy's Blue Angels or the US Air Force Thunderbirds, and no visiting American military planes on the static display line. The only jet fighter display was the Canadian CF-18 Hornet Demo Team, and the only military jet aerobatic team performing were the Canadian Snowbirds.
Over the next few days I will be reporting on some of the happenings at air shows across Western Canada.
Despite the lack of American aircraft, Western Canadian airshows in 2013 were some of the best I've seen - ever! Stay tuned here!
