Do they have lots of good static displays?

I haven't looked at the schedule yet this year, but the static displays are adequate. Mostly smaller planes, but the CF usually puts on a good display. They usually have a Griffin, and I've seen the CC-117 Globemaster, the CC-130 Hercules and the Aurora sub hunter. They always have a great hands-on display of weapons, artillery guns and small vehicles.
Parking has been a nightmare in the past. However, last year I parked at the Enmax Centre, and took a free shuttle to and from the grounds. Painless and amazing. Will never do it any other way.
As others mentioned, buying a VIP pass can also make the experience a little more pleasurable.
