July 2015<\/em><\/p>\n

Ask my husband how I feel about air travel, and I bet he will\u00a0tell you that\u00a0flying (in a plane; learning how to do it myself would be pretty awesome) ranks high on\u00a0my personal Top 10\u00a0List of Least Favourite Things to Do. I never let on to my kids, who love the experience, but I’m generally pretty tense when we fly. And\u00a0I seriously dislike turbulence. I know<\/em> that a fear of traveling by commercial jet doesn’t make statistical sense; it’s a\u00a0non-rational fear, but it’s still there. So I think it’s safe to say that I surprised said husband, when I agreed to go on an aerobatic fly-along during a promotion of the new Wings Over Springbank Airshow<\/a>. I think I surprised myself, for that matter, but this seemed like one of those rare opportunities for a person to Just Do It (Even If You Might Barf).<\/p>\n

This potentially life-changing experience, however, was not to be. Weather at the Springbank Airport turned out to be distinctly anti-small-plane on the day in question and the planned flights had to be\u00a0cancelled. Along with the potential loss of a personal epiphany, I also experienced immediate relief of some serious\u00a0nervous tension.<\/p>\n

Despite the change in plans, I still got\u00a0a\u00a0glimpse of the excitement on deck for\u00a0this weekend’s shows. Several star performers, along with their aircraft, were on display \u00a0(the planes, not the pilots) in a dry, non-windy hangar where I got to have a chat, take some photos, and even climb into the cockpits of Bud and Ross Granley’s aerobatic aircraft (a single-seater and a four-seater, which is a rarity). Suffice to say,\u00a0if you haven’t already purchased tickets I highly<\/em> recommend getting online<\/a> and booking your day out!<\/p>\n

Planned performances<\/a> for this weekend’s 2 days of airshow awesomeness include\u00a0Marcus Paine and his American Champion Super Decathlon, Canadian Armed Forces Skyhawks Parachute Team (that’s one thrill\u00a0I’m not ever<\/em> signing up for!), the beloved Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds, Super Dave Mathieson, the CF-18 Demonstration Team, Brent Handy of Redline Aerobatics and his gorgeous biplane, father-son aerobatic team Bud and Ross Granley who fly in tandem, and Bruce Evans and his T-28 navy trainer aircraft. You will also have the opportunity to check out (and maybe even take a cockpit tour of)\u00a0Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona’s two WWII bombers.<\/p>\n

\"Wings<\/p>\n

For most of these pilots, their love of\u00a0all things avionic began\u00a0early in life, and your\u00a0kids\/grandkids are sure to get a huge thrill when they see what these performers and their mechanical partners are capable of.<\/p>\n

Even though\u00a0poor weather grounded today’s fly-along, the weekend weather is looking like it’ll be perfect<\/em>\u00a0for the airshow. For more information on the show, and to find out how to purchase tickets to Wings Over Springbank, click here<\/a>.\u00a0Don’t forget your hat, sunscreen, water, camera, favourite children, and sense of adventure.<\/p>\n

As for my first-ever aerobat fly-along?\u00a0My fingers are crossed (and gut slightly clenched) for next year!<\/p>\n
