Re: Luke or Yuma??

Will the AV-8B demo team be based out of Yuma for the weekend, as far as I can tell they're booked to perform at both Yuma and Luke on Saturday. Maybe they are only performing at Luke on the Sunday?

Re: ACC Aerial Events 2018 Schedules

I'm wondering if ACC will send the F-35 demo to Abbotsford. If so, we would be the first to see the F-35 perform in Canada. There's no way Abbotsford gets the F-16 back2back years. Is the F-35 performing a full demo this year? I was under the impression it was a Heritage Flight Team, as it was last...

Great news, does the USAF still have static restrictions? We never did figure out why the second A-10 was parked in no-mans land this year.

I couldn't believe it had been 15 years...but the math checks out. Wow.

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think only the Hawk made a pass - judging from videos I've seen, perhaps the departure passes are a thing of the past. There seem to be fewer each year, but I honestly think it's more situational. I don't have a radio to hear if the crews are requesting to flyby after...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2017

I'm with ya Boomer. Need to make it over there. But I'd definitely attend for the entire week, because you're bound to get rained on at least one or two days. What is this FRIAT experience? This something I can google and find easy? Check it out on their website: http://www.airtattoo.com/airshow/pe...
