Now the aviation geek in me went absolutely nuts upon seeing this. Since there are no Lancasters airside at YYC (the aerospace museum has one on static display) that means that one of the two airworthy ones in the world will be flying in for this! 
Preliminary checks with some of my sources say to keep an eye out for it arriving on Tuesday, August 3rd around 3pm.
I will update this thread as I hear more details on this awesome visit!

If you can narrow down the time, and figure out the best filming location, I will get some good HD video to put up.
