Quinte International Airshow At CFB Trenton Cancelled For 2018
From 8 Wing Commander Colonel Mark Goulden's Facebook page

"Cancelling 2018

Operations at 8 Wing Trenton is our priority, whether it be helping Canadians during disasters such as the British Columbia wildfires, delivering humanitarian aid internationally, or supplying Canadian Armed Forces missions around the world. It is with these operational commitments in mind that 8 Wing Trenton has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2018 Quinte International Air Show.

Potential for the future
While it is impossible to predict our operational tempo at 8 Wing for the future, 8 Wing Trenton will be looking to work with community partners to explore the possibility of bringing the Quinte International Air Show back in the future.
Thankful


8 Wing Trenton is thankful for the tremendous support given to the Quinte International Air Show by sponsors and spectators. The support by our surrounding community is unparalled and that support allows us to execute the missions we are asked to do every day.

CFB Trenton is the site of the RCAF Memorial Museum which is home to an original Canadian Halifax Bomber, the 75th RCAF time capsule, as well as many other interesting aircraft and historical information.
