took place at the warplane museum at hamilton airport. it was the largest turnout ever for the event. i heard a rumor that the national z convention will be held outside toronto in 2016. i don't start rumors, i just repeat them.

Wow! plainly with that amount of support and cars (and hence people), there should be LOTS of help putting on the 2016 convention, right? (he said from 3000 miles away...)

Looks like I'll be going to Ontario sometime in 2016. It's only 1900km's for me.

For those of you who've never visited, the Hamilton Warbirds Museum is a beautifully-done, medium-scale WWII aircraft museum that holds, amongst other things, one of only two airworthy (and still flying) Avro Lancaster bombers still left in the world. The museum's B-25 (RCAF version) flies over my house most weekends during the summer... as does the Lancaster on special events like Remembrance Day in November. Both sound like airborne, multiple-locomotive freight trains (or the equivalent of about 1000 well-tuned Harleys running in a close pack). Many of the museum's aircraft (single and multi-engine) are available for back-seat guest hops. The museum's Lancaster was flown over to England about a week ago, to join the other still-flying Lanc for some special events.
