(PDF Archives) Behind the Scenes: 2012 Canadian International Air Show, Part Two - Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

 

We looked at participating aircraft and activities at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Part One of the 2012 Canadian International Air Show behind-the-scenes review. Aircraft flying in the air show from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport are presented here in the 13-page Part Two along with a good amount of information as usual. They include the solo aerobatic aircraft, more Harvard trainers, and supporting types. As in Part One, images recording activities around the aircraft and apron are also included.

(PDF Archives) Behind the Scenes: 2012 Canadian International Air Show, Part One - Toronto Pearson International Airport

For those who have attended air shows for more than a decade, the 2013 season across the United States and Canada was, to say the least, interesting. Budget battles in Washington, DC triggered sequestration capping spending across the Federal Government of the United States. Originally scheduled to take effect on 2 January 2013, the effects were felt ahead of that date with the cancellation of most United States Air Force demonstration teams. The Thunderbirds aerobatic team and F-22 demo team were given reprieves but the Canadian International Air Show's plans were affected when its scheduled F-16 demo team was stood down. However, a good mix of Canadian Armed Forces types, civilian aerobatic aircraft, and warbirds in the form of Second World War and postwar Harvard trainers took to the sky.

In this 14-page publication, we look behind the scenes at Toronto Pearson International Airport, one of two staging locations for the air show that takes place over Lake Ontario. As usual, a fair amount of information can be found in the captions.
