FYI performer announcement coming in today at noon!
If you're going to go all that way, might as well make it worth while!martin_sam_2000 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 9:58 pm
hmm.. and Michigan is the weekend before Cleveland...with London being the weekend after. That is a good hunk of time to be on the eastern side of the Continent.

The WOTN event is the weekend before Oshkosh, so I expect them to make an appearance there as well.

I can't believe nobody's asked this yet, but does anyone have any idea how the COVID situation is going to affect this?
I'm crossing my fingers it's going to be under control by then, and I'm glad we've not heard of a cancellation yet, but no official word is still unnerving.

ASL has put a poll on their facebook page.
Two questions (from memory).
1. Would you attend if the show is able to go ahead.
2. Would you attend if it was mounted as a drive in show.
Obviously, and not unexpectedly, they are mooting what if anything they can put off this year. The questions are hard to answer for me at the 4
months-out point... so many unknowns at this stage.
I have to fly from NL to get to the show... obviously if there are still quarantines (coming, going or both) in place it is a non-starter for me.
There is still a huge question mark as to what if any demo teams will be flying at that point, let alone those actually scheduled.
This is balanced by the irrational thought that if these few fall shows are the only ones that run, there may be some spectacular static (at least) line ups due to pent up interest. Alas I believe this is my own personal pipe dream.
For me, I answered yes to number 1 on the assumption it is business as usual (a boy can dream) and no on number 2 as that is even a bigger speculation not having any idea where a drive in show would be held and what would it consist of.
We are living in interesting times.

I honestly don't think this show will happen. And I would also guess that getting even statics let alone flying aircraft is next to impossible at the present and foreseeable future.

The Snowbirds will be grounded for a while after their fatal crash last Sunday.
So they will not be attending this show, even if goes ahead.

Keep an eye out around the second week of June for an epic podcast with Gerry, he's the Air Operations Director for Airshow London. He'll be joining my podcast for an hour to talk COVID and the show, plus his past. I'll certainly share some more details. I'll say, if you aren't apart of the Canadian Airshow Buzz Facebook group, you'll be missing out.

Just listened to the podcast. Hook was awesome! Very enthusiastic and loved his stories! Very interested in the drive-in concept. It sounds like they are really pushing hard for this. Let's hope restrictions ease and the travel bans are lifted so we can have some sort of event, in a year where the airshow industry has been decimated due to the pandemic.Chuter wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 9:59 pm Keep an eye out around the second week of June for an epic podcast with Gerry, he's the Air Operations Director for Airshow London.

Here is a link on youtube to the podcast. Great work by Nick and Sam for getting Hook to come aboard. Very fun to listen to!
