It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, wait, it’s a flock of planes… surrounded by some of the Maritime’s coolest rides.
If you haven’t heard yet, Wings & Wheels is back in the Valley Saturday, July 27; celebrating the 100th anniversary of the RCAF.
The show features over 250 classic, antique and special interest cars parked in the shade of the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum’s vintage aircraft. There will be guided tours inside a Hercules, Challenger, Aurora, Anson, Labrador and H44 twin rotor helicopter. You’ll get to stand inside the Lancaster, and peer into a T-Bird and a Second World War Bristol Bolingbroke, too. A Neptune and an Argus join the flock to provide extra shade, and there’s an Expeditor under restoration to check out.
You’ll be able to buy your Air Show Atlantic tickets (coming up August 24 and 25), have a BBQ or fish & chips lunch, shop in the air conditioned CANEX and museum gift shop, and take a guided tour inside the museum. Or, just sit back and enjoy free live music from our very own six-piece jazz combo! Rumour has it the show may even be buzzed by a low-flying aircraft or two!
Young, old, somewhere in between: you’re guaranteed to find something of interest at Wings & Wheels RCAF 100th Anniversary Edition.
Gates open at 10 a.m. It will be $5 to enter a vehicle in the show, for trophies and prizes; and free admission for spectators. The rain date is July 28.
