Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Does anyone know what the SkyHawks are going to jump from? I was thinking CC-115 or CC-130.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

So, SAR Week is over, are we going to have fighter week and heavies week coming up? Fingers crossed. Was talking with the Sea King crew at Boundary Bay yesterday and they told me that 2 aircraft are coming. The retro scheme is static and a grey bird is flying the demo. Their first Cyclone is being ...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

The only candidates I can think of would be the USN Super Hornet, the F-22 and the F-35 - all of which, I believe, have been ruled out. Where and when have the USN Super Hornet, F-22 and F-35 been ruled out? Thoughts of any other possibilities? Besides those 3, other possibilities could be F-15E an...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Static updates to be announced almost daily according to the website and from what I’ve been told from the folks at the AIAS. This is great news. That many announcements sounds like abby will get back to a 2012 size show. Hopefully there are a few more heavies and 1 or 2 more fast movers. Really lo...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Would love to see a USCG HC-130J however if we get a SAR C-130 it'll likely be an RCAF one. As for potential SAR aircraft that could attend I made a list. RCAF CH-146 (Cold Lake SAR) CC-130H (424 Sqn) *one of their aircraft is having work done at cascade* CC-115 (422 Sqn) CGC Bell 212 (Shoal Point/S...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Remind me, what was rumored and/or cancelled last minute at last years' show? From what I remember the B-1B was never officially confirmed. The second RNLAF F-35 was cancelled by the Airshow due to "not enough room on the ramp". The E-6B, SH-60 and CC-177 all cancelled last minute. The Ty...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

In terms of why performers haven’t been announced yet, I am just as puzzled as you are. The simple answer I was given was that the information will be released at the appropriate times. There are more performers to be announced? I'm hoping for one more fighter static beside the F-16 that was confir...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

are there any Luftwaffe fighters currently over in NA? I'm still holding on to that thin thread of hope that something(s) will accompany the A400. Only wishful thinking? There are Luftwaffe Tornados based in Holloman but I don't think those would come. Would be cool. I wouldn't put to much hope in ...
