The Kingfisher is Flying but not a Demo Yet

The introduction of the Kingfisher to Canadian Air Force service has been a bit drawn out and is not yet complete.  This version of the Airbus C295 has some customization which has yet to be fully worked out.  However, there are a number of the aircraft delivered including at Comox AFB on Vancouver Island.  For the air show, there was one on the ramp and another was up and flying in the morning.  It was not performing a demo, but it flew a lot of patterns before the show got underway.  Therefore, I had my first exposure to a flying Kingfisher.  They should be a more regular sight in the Pacific Northwest in due course.
