Seafair :: Festival Events :: Air Show from www.seafair.com
The KeyBank Air Show and Chevrolet Cup are the culmination of the month-long Seafair Festival and is undoubtedly the "Seafair weekend" that thousands look forward to each Summer. The action-packed three-day party includes the fastest powerboats in the world, the Unlimited Hydroplanes, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, fabulous northwest food and a spectacular Saturday evening fireworks show.
For many though across the Pacific Northwest, summer and Seafair reach their pinnacle as the six pilots behind the yokes of the "Blue" Boeing F/A-18 Hornets make their thunderous and spectacular appearance at the KeyBank Air Show presented by Boeing. Look skyward, run to the window or pull the car over, the Blue Angels will be soaring above Seafair again in 2009, July 31-August 2.

Avro Arrow from Military Photos by beatles101
the Avro Arrow was like one of the best canadian fighters built in the 1950's
http://www.avroarrow.org/
The Avro Arrow was born out of the neccessity for the protection of Canada. During the height of the Cold War (1950's) era, the soviets had introduced new long range bombers, that were capable of flying over the North Pole to attack North America. This was a very serious threat as the continent lived in fear of a surprise nuclear attack.
Its role was to replace the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck as a supersonic all weather interceptor.
Canada's then current fighter, the CF-100 Canuck, was a sub mach aircraft and not capable of filling this need so the design of the CF-105 Avro Arrow was implemented in 1953. Production was started and less then 4 years later, the Arrow was completed. ...
