Thanks for the frequencies pathalogical. I shot a video of the Kingston show while feeding my scanner into my camcorder. Turned out nice.

Snowbirds should be in Ottawa on July 1st for fly-overs, usually
after 11am but could vary. Frequency as MJC says would be 272.1
AM primarily, but not to rule out any others listed.
