It's stupid when you think this was for the 100th anniversary of the RCAF, and it will be at least 5 years before we see either aircraft with RCAF markings. If anything, it was a promotional stunt by the Liberals to try and show how they are helping the military. So far, they have only ordered 16 F-35s for $7 billion dollars. It also looks like Bombardier is going to try and challenge the order of the P-8 as they weren't given proper consideration.
Thanks so much for this great summary. That being said I must comment and say I wish our national taxpayer in part funded CBC completely disrespected the 100 th Anniversary of the RCAF by not showing the once in a century flypast of our history and choose to show whale watching and other less important segments that could have been taped and show later. Boo on the CBC and cheers to you Mark. Thanks again. An RCAF vet.
I saw that. The fly past is happening and the CBC cuts to some broad on a boat somewhere off Newfoundland interviewing nobodies about whales they haven't seen today.
lol yeah I noticed that too. I wanted to see the planes and they kept cutting away. I got to see them in person though but what an awful show that was. They literally kept cutting out as the good stuff was going on.
I was watching CBC as well and couldn’t understand how the whale finder had more relevance than the RCAF. Perhaps if Trudeau had been there they would have shown him looking up and had Rosemary Barton swooning over him.
I live south of Ottawa , I heard the familiar sound of the Lancaster coming, I ran inside and yelled “the Lancaster’s coming!” All my family ran out to witness that great moment, my kids hadn’t seen it fly before but knew what it was. A total treasure
Awesome footage Mark! So cool to see the cheers and wows from the crowd, and the commentary from the stage was really good too (CPAC has a low-def version) - pretty sure everyone was surprised by the scale and scope of the flypast
@@TheJimprez there are more than justified reasons to knock your own country when that country is Canada. Maybe you should be a bit more critical of our abject failure as a nation over the past 10 years.
Thank you for posting the video. I was at the air show with my cousin. I really enjoyed but couldn’t video it. I appreciate you posting this especially with the added information. I didn’t even recognize half the aircraft there.
Wonderful display and great filming, however, I'm disappointed in our Federal Government... they requested privately operated CWH planes (Lancaster, Mitchell etc.), but provided ZERO dollars towards the effort... just relying on the good will of private museums to support Canadian history while they misspend on EVERYTHING else.
We the Canadian taxpayers, moved the Lancaster to Hamilton… we the taxpayers helped fund the museum building, we the taxpayers have poured money into this wonderful museum.
@@waffles1ca Ummm ... nope... look again, it's a privately run museum, VERY little is taxpayer funded. This Liberal government fails on anything historical or military. The ONLY thing keeping it going is a) private donations b) Museum visits and shop... but mostly c) paid flights in the various planes.
@@waffles1ca ... from the site "We are an independent Museum and are not affiliated with any other organization or government program. As a result we do not acquire much funding from the Canadian Government, but primarily rely on cash and in kind sponsorships and donations from the public."
the primary Government transport aircraft has been that colour since Harper was in office, he's the one who ordered the design. And it's a terrible because it can't be reused as a proper military aircraft in combat service because of the paint scheme. Also fuck Pierre, that Trump wannabe.
Nice thing about helicopter flypast is that you can leave it to hit the porta potty, go get a hot dog and a drink, come back to watch it and it's still only half done.
3 CF 18s here out of almost 90 CF 18s in the RCAF ,2 C 130Js out of 17,and 30 C 130s in total, 1 out of 5 heavy C 17s,and in Nato only UK , and US otherwise fly the C 17,(Germany & France ,and Spain fly the not as big turboprop A400s), and actually Canada flies more C 17s ,5,than in the Nato Heavy Aircraft wing,3 C 17 ,available for use by other countries in Nato, Czechs Dutch Poland etc
@@avroarchitect1793 Exactly... these are complex early jet era planes that got "opted out" of flightworthy renovation status, the maintenance costs are prohibitive.
@@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835 Exactly... it's not feasible to keep these old jet airframes airworthy.... too complicated. When it comes to comparing WWII prop planes vs Korea/Vietnam era jets... it's like keeping 60's/70's muscle cars alive, but hard to keep early "computerized/early emissions tech" cars from 2000's going, too expensive to revive/maintain... and they don't carry the same nostalgic "magic".
How is CCG going out of its way to distance itself from the military? It is not part of the CAF or DND. It is part of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
By the way, with all the subsidiaries given to Bombardier, that company should be own by the Canadian People and not that family! That Challenger is a beauty that ought to be own by us The Canadian People. The best gift this actual, so called Canadian government, could had given us, was to be in that Hercules heading to the Ukraine-Russia front lines!
Fantastic job catching all of this on camera Mark. I must say that I'm disappointed at the conversations in the background. A snippet of English here, a touch of French there and who knows what for 98% of it. None of their kids will join the CAF because they are bad 'back home.' Thank you Justin Trudeau for watering down Canadian culture into more of a poor-man's stew.
It was nice of the US to send up examples of what we have on order
@@FreshPez those planes dont work.

Great camera work. Thankyou for bringing us this historic event
Nothing like the sound of the Merlins on the Lancaster! If only there was an Avro Arrow left to fly by ;-)
Man I wish. Arrow's my favourite plane for sure. The Lanc does sounds incredible though, nothing like 4 V-12's

So happy that two of Hamilton's prettiest girls were able to take part (B25 and Lancaster) although I'm surprised they didn't send the PBY!

When I joined the CF in 1980 the CP140 Aurora was brand new lol
The US still flies 50-year-old planes too, so STOP knocking off your own country for fun. It's getting REALLY lame...

Wow dad are those the new AirForce jets, yes they are son and 1964 is going to be a great year for Canada. Nice show.
Great shots! I also got some very nice photos with my camera.
Thanks so very much from Toronto ! Hope you can make it the air show here cheers ! And thanks again !!!!
Saw some of it from Gatineau. Clearly, should have been on site. Thanks!
I can't wait to see the Atomic Moth irl.
Thanks for your awesome TH-cam channel coverage! Something you won't see anywhere else!👍👍
Dudeee, awesome work. This may be me next year in a CH-148 Cyclone as apart of the air crew, most likely to enlist soon in my senior years...
Great job Mark 🇨🇦

not much of an air force but it's nice to see our WW2 planes fly again.
Always love seeing Lancaster fly around such a cool sound.
Nice show.
folks that's about 30% of the entire functional RCAF fleet right there
You are a fool

The Snowbirds are an embarrassment, the fact they’re still using those aircraft show how much our nation has declined under successive governments.
Bunch of barely flying sauce pans.
they got more cargo than fighter jets lol
Hahaha, lol, oh my god!!!
How old are you? 6 or 7?
Yeah, you do need more?
3rd world air force. Everythimg is old and worn.
Shame that the Canadian Coast Guard goes out of it's way to distance itself from the military instead of participating in these affairs
The Ottawa Canal is not big enough!
How is CCG going out of its way to distance itself from the military? It is not part of the CAF or DND. It is part of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
Because the Canadian Coast Guard is not part of the Canadian Military.
The CCG aircraft don’t even look that good, they’re just covered in red.
Give them Bread and Circuses…

Zero... under this government ... we don't celebrate achievements, only denigrating our past.
