I officially love air shows from yesterday on!

Me and my boyfriend decided to visit the Villeneuve Airport on a lovely (although quite windy) Saturday morning.

We woke up and went to have a morning coffee and hit the road. The Villeneuve Airport is located app. 40 kilometers south-west of the city center of Albertan capital Edmonton. The event started at 9 a.m. and when we arrived there around 10 a.m. the parking place was already filled with lots of vehicles.

This was our first time at Edmonton Airshow and we soon learned we came 'a bit' underprepared. Other visitors looked like they were going camping! With camping chairs, air mattresses, beach umbrellas, coolers, hats, sunscreen, etc.

I had none of it. Only my camera and a wallet. It turned out to be almost enough but I had to (at least) get me some hat - and a stylish one too!

I would have loved the comfy chair like this one.

This is my introductory post to this fabulous two-day event and I wanted to show you a few of the aircraft that were part of the display. It was so many of them and also so much going on that I did not want to overwhelm you with all of them at once. They also deserve more attention so I will present them to you in a couple of posts in the next days.

Let's start with the military helicopter that got a lot of attention.

The kids (and even much older ones) seemed to love it.

All shiny and ready to fly, they all looked pretty for the display. Owners must have been so proud of them!

I liked this next one because of its bright color and vintage look.

If anyone is looking to purchase a plane, here is one for you.

And last but not the least for tonight, here is Edmonton Regional Helicopter. One day I want to take a trip above my city and take some shots to share with you.

Next time I will show you more. Here is a sneak peak:

..till the next time. Thanks for stopping by :)
