The Canadian National Exhibition's aerial show comes to the skies just outside the inner harbour of Lake Ontario, to the west of Ontario Place. Starting Saturday, September 1 and finishing on the Labour Day Monday from noon-3pm daily the show features some of the best acrobatic talent in the world.

Centre stage is actually a City of Toronto fire and rescue boat which started up their flames of water at about 11:30am. First up is USAF Thunderbirds which have a great colour scheme.

Another fantastic CIAS show. They are asking people to post pictures with #cias and #lovethenoise hashtags in support of the air show.
