HURON PARK --One would think that drawing 10.000 spectators would be -
the highlight of airshow chairman's Tom Lawson's day. . . .
But the first thing Lawson mentiohed following the show was the•two vans
of foodstuffs people donated to the food.hank. In lieu of an entrance fee, orga-
nizers of last Wednesday's Centralia international Airshow requested donations
.to the Blessings Unlimited Foodbank. ` -
"People have a conscience." praised Lawson. adding, "It shows the commu-
nity.cares. ..
' Lawson admitted he was verypleased with the attendanceand Was happy the
community came to view aircraft usually only seen at much larger airshows:
The weather cooperated with showers reported in the surrounding. communi-
ties but onlya few drops fell at the site. The changing weather presented chal-
lenging conditions for the pilots who were still able to undertake their demon-
strations: . . - ,:
.'- Those who attended the show -at Centralia/Huron Airpark witnessed high-
powered, state -of -the -an aircraft used in air defense:
The static display included a US navy P3 patrol aircraft and E2 surveillance
aircraft. two restored Harvard training aircraft. the -Canadian Forces Sea King
helicopter and an Ontano Provincial Police aircraft. People were able to talk
with the crews and tour through the larger aircraft: Local flight training schools
also had their aircraft on the tarmac for people lir sec. - -=
• The aerial portion of the&show started at 5 p.m. with a flyover by the KC135
Tanker followed by two F-16 fighter jets. -
. Next: the crowd was treated to an impressive "in your face" aerial demon-
stration by an F-15 from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The pilot man -han-
dled the jet through a variety of manoeuvres in spite of the low ceiling. The jet
flew out of London Airport because even Centralia's longest runway (5,012
feet) could not accoinmodate the powerful jet.
The F -117A Stealth fighter out of Langley Air Force Base also performed a
,
flypast.
The highlight for Many people was the world -renown Snowbirds. ,
Because of illness. the team performed with eight planes rather than the usual
nine. The team adjusted to the last minute change and performed numerous
manoeuvres including the Big Arrow. Concord. Maple Split as well as several
solo manoeuvres such as the level roll. The Snowbirds concluded with the spec-
tacular Canada Burst.
Unfortunately, three scheduled aircraft did not attend. According to Lawson.
the Labrador helicopter cancelled the day before the show, the US Coast Guard
helicopter was called out on duty and the A-10 Tank Busters were unable to land
at Centralia at the pre -arranged time.
