The Canadian International Air Show
You've probably all heard the engines rumbling outside today, and since the Grand Prix has come and gone that can only mean one thing -- The Canadian International Air Show has arrived. And last time I checked no one can make you pay $10 to look up at the sky, so you can come down to Lakeshore and enjoy great views of the show for free.
This year is a special one for the air show, as it marks the first appearance of an F22 Raptor outside of the US. I can't say I comprehend how exciting I'm sure that really is for some people, but even as a non-plane-loving girl I still can't deny that it's pretty exciting to watch and feel the roar overhead. You'll pretty much be forced to hear them all weekend anyway, so why not enjoy it. And who doesn't love the Snowbirds?
The air show starts tomorrow and runs through to Labour Day, but the Raptor is only flying on Saturday. Each day the show starts around 1:00 p.m. and goes to around 4:00 p.m. Come down early to make sure you get the best view down by the water.
If you want to make a day of it you can also take in the CNE during its last weekend. General admission is $12 which includes admission to Ontario Place where you're sure to have a great view of the show. Fireworks are nightly at... well, at nightfall.
