Re: How Many Airshows Are You Attending In 2018?

Abbotsford this weekend,
Radom in 2 weeks,
Portland in another month and half
and Zhuhai in November..
This year will be surely a banner year for my airshow trips. Nothing will top this for a long while... :)
unless anymore acts cancell out.

Re: Cold Lake Airshow 2018

^
Include a triple break with a flare dump and I'm there!
I am still monitoring the feeds but more and more of me probably will not take part this weekend. Hopefully enough reps here who attend share the goods.

Re: Oregon International Airshow - Sept 28-30, 2018

Oregon does have some civil action too in the form of a D8-Q400 and a 737 from Alaska which is pretty nice to see! No insider scoops sadly, just hopeful speculation. HIO will be combined with an overall Portland trip to do regular spotting and some tax free shopping ontop of this airshow. Facility i...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2018

Excellent! This years show must of been a blast!! Beats any of the Canadian shows that places safety margins a bit too extreme, 600m+ from the rwy seating to the rwy centerline at Abby for instance.. weak. I am so glad our RCAF represented very very well over there and a ton of brits must appreciate...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

I miss the days when the B1B would do flyby demos and Air Canada would send in a heavy to do a few flybys as well. Of course the stuff in the 80's is a whole different story. I'm on the fence for this year, Maybe Friday evening show to try out the grandstand to see if the elevated view will help wit...

Re: Oregon International Airshow - Sept 28-30, 2018

I think I will pass on the cold lake airshow and do just 1 day of Abby and push for Portland!
It looks too good to miss and I'm sure more acts will still to follow including maybe an F22 or F35 appearance.
Not to mention the lighting is absolute prime from the viewing area and orientation.

Re: Cold Lake Airshow 2018

Oh thank you! I did not realize you made a thread on this a while back..
I guess my only real contribution would of been to include a map of its location then.

Cold Lake Airshow - July 21-22, 2018

The biggest airshow happening in the province of Alberta, second only to Abby in Western Canada is the Cold Lake Airshow due for the third weekend of July. 4 Wing RCAF at Cold Lake AFB is where half of Canada's front line fighter squadrons are based and other than being hosts to Maple Flag war exerc...

Oregon International Airshow - Sept 28-30, 2018

Hey All, Another airshow worthy of mention this summer is the Oregon airshow in September this year. It is a little bit on the late side especially in the summer but the set list looks pretty good with a strong Canadian contingent. Otherwise there are air displays of ANG F-15, CF-18, A-10A, B-25, Sn...

Re: Pilot In Shoreham Airshow Disaster To Face Criminal Charges

^ It is just as I feared for FAB. I went and it was like 60 quid a person and it was for FAB Fridays or whatever that was called. It got cancelled half way thru thanks to some bad weather grounding the remainder of the action. The new rules will certainly kill the appeal of this on the flying scene....
