ACE!...Me dad was a FLT.A/N....🍁GO CANADA!🍁

[@pspboy7]

Having one of the two only Lancaster's that can still fly in the world is a huge huge feather in the cap for Canada! Cheers!

... it's privately owned... FYI: Our Federal Liberal government contributed NOTHING to the Canada Day flyover in Ottawa (over Parliament for the 100th RCAF anniversary event)... Trudeau has "other spending priorities". Great to see "VERA", the Mitchell and the newly finished Firefly visit from the CWH !

[@rocco.aviation]

Lancaster is based at my local 💪

[@ForderLearnToFly]

I was working at the show, but so busy in Hangar 7 that I missed this flypast. Thank you for capturing it.

[@Triple87]

Man, I get to see that Lancaster regularly and it never gets old.

[@bansaw99]

Me too Those engines sound so good

[@waffles1ca]

A few days ago I heard it coming ( I live in the south end of Ottawa, I ran in the house and yelled the Lancaster is coming, everyone came out, it went right over our house, what a thrill!

[@edwardlong189]

My uncle died last year at 102, he was a RCAF flight Instructor on Harvards. We owe a lot to that generation.

[@JohnViinalass-lc1ow]

flyovering the Hannon farm where I lived were these birds and others...stirring events...each time...Happy Centennial, R. C. A. F.!

[@jimfell7147]

Great stuff, sat watching tv last week, at home in Roseneath when an incredible noise came from the sky directly above us. Stepped onto the deck and thought i'd gone back in time as an Avro Lancaster, a Spit and a Hurricane soared directly above us, used to be in the ATC back in England and we had a Spit in front of our building but never got a chance to see anything like what I witnessed last week 3 planes that saved the world. Thank you whoever flew them.

[@lib556]

Wow. Hurricane, Spitfire and Lancaster... oh my!

[@coldlakealta4043]

in tribute and memory of the thousands of RCAF members who paid the ultimate sacrifice that we could live in peace and freedom

[@peterrollinson-lorimer]

Impressive list of aircraft, offerings from Warplane Heritage and Vintage Wings. Great video.

[@dotarsojat7725]

EXXXXXCELLENT. Just video, and the music of flight. Thank you for this.

[@tazman572]

Great to see the old birds flying again. I served in the CAF/RCAF for 35 years, 1981-2016 and retired from 8 Wing Trenton, (ATESS). After having worked so many airshows, it's one thing that I don't miss.

[@cdnpont]

You've captured some serious images here

[@gilbertpaul6154]

[@PhilipRawbon-rk8uv]

My Dad was with 420 squadron.. Tholthorp Yorkshire..early 44 till end of hostilities one of the last to leave ..he was in the photo section there..he watched the Lacs leave..they never saw action just Helibags did..heres to the greatest generation!

[@keithbrettell2058]

The Lancaster, the B-25 and the Firefly flew over my house on the way to the way...what a thrill to see and hear them‼

[@peterlocke5204]

Great video and brilliant sound well done!!

[@CanadianSmoke]

That was some great photography... brilliant! It is a shame that there are not any airworthy Typhoons.

[@MrFezco]

Not sure if I loved the hard banking Lanc sight, or sound, better! Dang those Merlins

The best sounding engines ever made those RR Merlins followed second by the F1 v10/12 era

[@sfm5s]

At least some of our culture and heritage was able to be displayed.

[@ModelTrainsTV]

Great stuff. Weather couldn't have been better!

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

Asking permission to use the Lancaster flyby clip for a video on the Saskatoon visit today - full credit, of course.

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

Subbed, btw lol

[@AshyPuppyBoy]

Will there be an Airshow Dispatches on this? looks like it was a great show

[@ThisisFlight]

There certainly will be!

[@MrFezco]

What is the model with the extended canopy? Looks like a dive bomber

[@ThisisFlight]

Firefly Mk.VI - not a dive bomber, but a carrier-based fighter and anti-submarine platform.

[@MrFezco]

@@ThisisFlight cool thanks! The big flaps had me thinking.

[@mfwebpea2935]

They were flying over my home for more than half an hour at the 2015 day of the election with Humvees riding on the highways

[@marklittle8805]

I was there. I just was hoping for some high speed passes...but regardless, awesome seeing these old birds

[@MrFezco]

That peel at the 5:40 mark was nice!
