T
he Canadian Rockies International Airshow Society on Monday gave a sneak peak at some of the aircraft delights that will be on display in just under one year’s time. On August 17, media representatives from at home and abroad and aircraft and airport fans were on hand at the Canadian Rockies International Airport to see some of the exciting names and aircraft in Canadian aviation, some of whom will be returning for the Cranbrook airshow August 5 and 6, 2016. “It’s looking quite good,” said Daryl Garton, Society Chair. “We’ve got a lot of the performers that are here today who are also going to be here for 2016, and things are wrapping up. “The City of Cranbrook’s been backing us up on this so we’re doing quite well. “We’ve got a little bit of buzz
going on here — these guys are here for us, for the media. A lot of us have volunteered their own time to come out here and promote the show for 2016 — and at this point we are going to make it happen.” Aviators were roaring over Cranbrook and onto the airport tarmac Sunday afternoon, evening and all through Monday. And media types seeking an adrenaline hit were offered rides in some of the notable aircraft on hand — such as Saskatchewan’s Stefan Trischuk’s Pitts X2C biplane, or Geoff Latter’s fully restored 1958 Nanchang, a Chinese prop-driven fighter/trainer. (Full disclosure: This reporter was found too be to heavy for flights in the Nanchang or biplane, confirming his status as “land animal.”)
