The Candian Forces Base in Trenton Ontario had an open days over the weekend to celebrate a number of events. It featured both static ground displays and airbourne activitiy.
Some of the sites included
* one of two Lancaster bombers in the world still flying (though it wasn't able to fly on Saturday).
* demonstrations with the C-17, C-130, F-86, F-18 and CC-150 Polaris.
It wasn't a full blown airshow but the first Trenton has put on in a 15 years.
Also had look the National Air Force Musem. Highlight there is the Handley Page Hallifax there was recently unvailed. It's the only one in the world that's been fully restored.
Rather than post 100+ photos I've put the up on Photobucket as a slideshow.

Some of them turned out much better than expected (at one point I was ready to smash the camera).
