Air show to host last flying Lancaster bomber
Oxford Mail
On May 16, 70 years ago to the day, a brave squadron of RAF pilots took off on what was to become one of the most famous missions of the Second World War. The Dambusters squadron as they became known, flew in specially-modified Lancaster bombers on a mission to destroy three German dams and cripple the heavily industrialised Ruhr Valley.
U.S. air show planned to re-enact atomic bomb attack on Japan
Toronto Star
A popular air show has cancelled plans to stage a re-enactment of the devastating World War II atomic bomb attack on Japan after protests, officials said.
Dayton Air Show spokeswoman Brenda Kerfoot said the June 22-23 event at Dayton International Airport will keep a planned "Great Wall of Fire" pyrotechnic show but not as an event meant to re-enact the Aug. 6, 1945, bombing of Hiroshima. The B-29 plane "Fifi," similar to the Enola Gay B-29 bomber used to attack Japan, will remain in the show but in a separate role.
How loud does a 'whisper jet' sound? It depends
The Globe and Mail
It's 4:30 on a rainy afternoon near the foot of Bathurst Street, and somewhere up above the drone of turboprop engines is getting louder. The incoming plane materializes out of the clouds, heading for Toronto's island airport. Its wheels touch the runway and a few seconds later the plane reverse-thrusts to slow itself down. At that moment the noise level suddenly peaks and, even with a stiff wind blowing the sound away from shore, it's a distraction.

With handy island airport, Toronto can jet ahead
Ottawa Citizen
It may be hard for many Canadians to accept, but Toronto is rapidly becoming one of the most important cities in North America. In relation to other major municipalities, the city is growing in population and relevance. It's more cosmopolitan, entrepreneurial and multicultural than ever before. And compared to cities of a similar size in the U.S., it's remarkably clean and safe. And hey, Toronto’s hockey team just made the playoffs for the first time in nine years. So it has that going for it.
