Growing up on airbases, every day was an airshow. The first "official" airshow I remember was about 1960, at CJATC - Rivers Camp to the old timers. Most memorable thing was watching a Tracker fold its wings while taxiing. Other memories include aerobatics by a Chipmunk from the Light Aircraft School, a very shiney and new L182 from AATTS, para drop from several Boxcars (3?), and of course the Golden Hawks. Also flybys by several visitors, including Voodoos and Banshees.

Later that same summer, while visiting relatives in Saskatchewan, I saw the Goldilocks perform at a local fair. That was memorable!
