Totally surrounded by the wilderness of northern Ontario, the city of Thunder Bay is an intriguing combination of city and country life, with a history that dates back to the days of the Fur Trade. Its skies are reputed to be the bluest in the province, and some of North America's most famous aerobatic pilots are drawn here for Thunder In The Air, T-Bay's annual air show. This episode kicks off with a pilot's perspective, on the show grounds, in the cockpit and in free falling formation. But when the curtain goes down at the airfield, the crew take off to capture the essence of the town itself, sampling the best of local culture and taking a step back in time.
