Wow, great list!

I've gone ahead and created an Attraction listing for CIAS in Toronto. Some of the freq's are used year after year.

So, for everyone's downloading pleasure, here it is: Canadian International Air Show Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

maxtracs · Sep 3, 2016

Years ago the Breitling jet team were using 136.950
Also none military aircraft were on 123.600
They were also using that frequency to broadcast the pilots to the crowed

Cneguy · Sep 3, 2016

CNE

Is there anyway to listen to the commentary that comes over the speakers? I'm a few blocks away.
Thanks.

maxtracs · Sep 3, 2016

No but if they talk to the pilot you will here it on 123.600 or 119.200
Those are your best bet

uncleblackie · Sep 4, 2016

So who were the mystery performers?

maxtracs · Sep 4, 2016

I think they were the haritage flight

maxtracs · Sep 5, 2016

Wow I just seen the lineup of performers in the London airshow
115 hawk. F15 f16 f22 and snowbirds and f18
Why did our 4 hour long awesome airshow with all of those acts become a sad short lineup
They can't bring us displays here but they seem to be going everywhere else
I'm sorry for being upset about it but I have been going to the cne airshow since I have been 12 and I have seen it go from a great airshow to a sad display

I agree it has slimmed down but it was smaller and sleeker and less wait between acts even though there were less performers than other years. I also tend to like the 12:00 start as opposed to 1:00.

I checked out the London Lineup and it looks very tempting to do a road trip September 17th.

Snowbirds active now on 246.5 talking about a pass over the lake...
Checked their schedule... "Captain Michael VandenBos School Flypast" in Whitby

polkaroo · Sep 6, 2016

They do that every year - the school is named after a Snowbird pilot who was killed. And so after CIAS, on the first day of school, the Snowbirds always do a flypast in Whitby.

The London airshow is always a fantastic show. Much better than the CNE.
