Happy Thursday! As we continue to reflect on how incredibly grateful we are for all of the performers and static displays that were able to attend over the Canada Day weekend, we would like to give a special thanks to the guy who makes everything look so “easy” in his 1986 Long EZ airplane – Kyle Fowler with Go EZ Aerobatics. Thank you for not only wowing us with your incredible aerobatic performance, but also for taking the time to sign autographs, take selfies, and meet and chat with so many spectators over the course of the airshow.

The passion and skill that you bring to each and every one your performances is truly inspiring!
