The 2009 Nova Scotia Internationl Air Show is on the move. Over the last few years the show has had its share of complications when it has been held at the Stanfield International Airport ( YHZ ). The decision has been made to try relocating the show to see if things work out better in Yarmouth.
The Nova Scotia International Air Show is on the move. After a very challenging year that saw hurricanes steal most of the Show from the fans, NSIAS is relocating for 2009 to a venue that offers more opportunity to display the very best event possible with less risk.
The Yarmouth Airport will host the Show on September 12 and 13 in 2009. With its history of successful Shows in the 80's and 90's and after a very good event last September, NSIAS has decided to make Yarmouth its home for this year. The venue allows freedom of air space that is not possible in the busy skies over Halifax Stanfield International Airport. It also has ample parking on-site and a community infrastructure in accommodations, services and volunteers that will lend itself to a very successful event.
The full line-up of our major Canadian Show will attend in September, including the CF Snowbirds, CF SkyHawks and CF-18 Demo. United States participation has been approved and we anticipate the return of the USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II and for the first time, the USN F/A-18F Super Hornet. We are very excited that our popular Canadian Army "Camp Canada" will be on the ground with its interactive displays. We have hit a home run with our civilian line-up for this year as well. The enormously popular Flash Fire Jet Truck will return - and they are not coming alone - teamed with two world-class aerobatic performers, the jet truck completes "Team Chaos", a four-performance tour-de-force that features a final act that will leave the crowd stunned and amazed.
We are extremely excited to present some important heritage aircraft to help celebrate the Canadian Centennial of Flight. The "Hawk One" project will bring its F-86 Sabre, in Golden Hawks markings to the Show for a thrilling solo demonstration and combined heritage flight. NSIAS will also be the final stop on the "Back to Baddeck" cross-country tour of several vintage aircraft being organized by the Canadian Aeronautical Preservation Association (CAPA).
