31 August 2024 Toronto: Sonic BOOM! The Airshow is Happening

 


This fine day gave us an Air Show and some wandering about.  We wanted to drop off one of the prescriptions we had and walked over to the Shoppers Drug Mart over by Sobeys.  Just as they were entering the information, the power went out.  They said it would take three hours for the system to fully re-boot so we left and did our final shopping at Sobeys.  We only have a week left here in Toronto but we needed more fresh foods.  We saw jet planes on the walk over and on the walk back.  The show was not continuous as the local airport was still in operation and occasionally the jets were allowed to land.  We walked over to a different Shoppers Drug Mart and were able to get the prescription into the que.  The planes would zoom by as we walked.  Much to our surprise and delight, the prescriptions that we were given by the "virtual" doctors visit were bale to be filled at this location instead of the one in the city center.  That is going to save us time and money.  


The down button has been rotating clockwise during our stay.  


A few days ago it was at the 11:00 position


Not quite into the formation


Making lots of noise


Keeping between the wires


A police boat was out to keep the order


Birds or planes?


Close formation


Very close


Making the loop


And another loop 


Tree for scale


The Finale!


Poor sunscreen placement and a cute dog


The air space has re-opened


Sitting on this bench we noticed a purse left behind


Party cove


Lots of boats watching


Barged up


The flag is a flying


Sunflowers rusting


Cardinal


Still barged together


Heading home and the purse is still there
