Hamilton Air Show is back!

After a 10 year hiatus, the Hamilton Air Show returns to the skies this Father's Day Weekend! I rejoiced at the news sometime ago that the show was returning. During my Air Force days about 30 years ago, we attended a number of air shows both officially & un-officially & the Hamilton one was a regular event for me. I [particularly liked visiting the Air Force Club at Mount Hope on the day before the show started to have a few beers, a sausage on a bun, look again at the various memorabilia inside the Club, but mostly to watch the various aircraft practice their routines for the show the following days - all without the large crowds or admission charge!

Thought of repeating the tradition today but with a young pup at home & the price of gas these days, easier to stay home & reminisce!

But if you can go this weekend, by all means do so! We've seen the warbirds of the CWH so many times it isn't new for us.
