A first look at the 2010 Air Show

Great photos! Can't wait to check out the full show this weekend.

The airshow is great! The skills of those aviators are something special, and we have a proud heritage of flight in this country. The best part is seeing how excited all the little kids get - I wonder if some of they will be inspired to become pilots, or even astronauts, this weekend.

Many years ago, the airshow planes were parked next to Pearson airport and people paid to get in to see a static display (parked planes). It was great to talk to the pilots and their crew. It was neat to be so close to the F-117 military jet. Too bad they won't let us see those planers up close like that. It was worth it.

They should set up speakers broadcasting the sound of explosions as these things fly by so we can appreciate their true purpose. They're beautiful and stunning but so ugly at the same time. The stuff we make for peace doesn't take your breath away, but the stuff we make for war knocks you off your feet!

Yeah, the noise is total balls. But weather wins the day! Here's hoping the great weather keeps up!

Thanks for the compliments Greg. I'm hoping to get some great photos tomorrow or Monday to share. Got a great spot to catch the action. Enjoy the show this weekend when it resumes!

What I hate about the Toronto Air Show is only the direction you're facing. Taking photos into the sun is a huge pain. A lens hood helps, but it would be great to have photos with the sun hitting of the side of the planes.

I love the air show! I just wish they had more nations represented. I'd love to see some more than just the typical US-made stuff up there. All you people whining about the noise should have chosen where you live better.

Great photos David! Keep 'em coming!

The airshow is awesome. I live in Parkdale and have been enjoying my front row seats for years.

If you don't like the airshow, leave the city.
Srsly people, it's only for 3 days. Enjoy it!

Spoken like someone who's never been on the wrong side of these things.

Great shots David!

The air show was AWESOME today. The Harvards took my breath away. I think the noise was worth it. It's only a few days every year. Tanya, you should move out to the country where all you'll hear is your own voice talking to those pets of yours.

Well, today went off without a hitch. I bring joy in imagining you (whoever you are) cowering and crying in a secluded corner of your house/apartment/shack. I suppose we should ban fireworks, and Hell, thunderstorms too. They're pretty loud too.

Warmflash: what are you on about? What do smoking in bars and cars idling have to do with the air show? Some vague connection to air pollution, no doubt. Get a life you pseudo-environmentalist hippie.

And Tanya, I don't typically generalize, but I'm guessing your pet is some kind of useless purse dog, and that you're equally as useless. David put it quite well, if you're going to waste time worrying about planes from the air show hitting your apartment, you should be worried about the thousands of commercial jets and even private planes that fly over us everyday. The pilots at the air show represent some of best pilots in service, and of anyone, pose the least threat due to a catastrophic accident.
