Hello….We are from Manitoba and will be attending the air show while touring the area. However, due to time constraints we can only see for 1 day. I presume the whole show can be seen either Sat. or Sunday. Correct? Thanks and Regards…R>J>
Hi, great to have you coming to the air show. Yes the whole show can be seen either day. The sequence of acts will change a bit between the two days for some theatrical presentation but the line up of aircraft will be the same Saturday and Sunday. The gates open at 9am and the air display gets started at 12pm, but I would highly suggest coming early as we have the lead into the first act starting at 11am.
Cheers
Jeremy

I would like to express my graditude towards the efforts of everyone involved putting this air show together, A job well done!
We attended today July 17th.
Not knowing what to expect we came prepared, chairs, sun umbrella, cooler full of water including a packed lunch.
Upon our arrival none of what we brought was necessary and we thank you for all your hospitality.
My father,a WWII vet with the 412th Spitfire airwing.
When you paid $30 you expect a good show.The air display was very good.
There was not airplanes on the ground for people to connect to. I went in 9am and at 12:15pm the air show began 3 hours without airplanes walking around with no much to see and fence in. Yes a lot of food to eat.Hope next year the make the aircraft more accessible to the public
Glad everyone enjoyed the air display part of the show. As an organizer there are many challenges to putting on a show of this nature with a large flying display. We appreciate the comment about the static display JP and will make some changes to incorporate a secondary grass HOT ramp to view active aircraft from. As to the $30 price tag all we can say is bringing in that quantity of vintage aircraft costs large amounts of money without Government support and then on top we can all thank the Province of Ontario for the HST part which we have no control over.
Hopefully see everyone out next year in Midland.
Had a great time last year. Is there going to be another show this year. I have looked on the NET but can’t find any info
