The highlight of the event was the roll-out of its fully restored Sabre 5, set to fly again soon after the event. The Sabre will receive a Golden Hawks colour scheme to commemorate a century of flight in Canada next year. Without doubt, VWC’s open houses have evolved into Canada’s premier warbird events; the relaxed atmosphere, excellent photographic opportunities, combined with a zero dollar entrance fee and possibilities for up-close viewing are simply unmatched in the country.
