On our way back home from an event, we traveled along
Highway #2. We reached Trenton
at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Just as we reached the eastern outskirts
of the city, we heard a roar overhead! There were two jets zooming above us!
With Trenton Forces Base close by, we didn’t think much about it. However, just
as we approached the Base, police diverted us north on a side road. We wondered
if there had been an accident. As we drove up the road, a number of cars had
pulled off to the side of the road. People were standing there, looking
upwards, with binoculars to their eyes. I simply thought that they were simply
watching Air Force planes take off and land. My father and I had done that many
years ago at Toronto
International Airport.
Thinking nothing more, we followed other cars on the detour. We traveled north
and then turned west and continued until we reached another road that took us
south again and back to Highway #2. Just as we came parallel to the Base,
hundred of people started to cross our road! The Trenton Air Show was now over!
