Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

OK, this is driving me nuts... Cyclone...final answer. Good guess but no cigar. I should clarify that this aircraft HAS been to Abbotsford before..but only once.

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Perhaps the wood reference may be to the 2x4 looking wings? :lol:

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

I know I have to give it time. I know how statics work. I was involved with the Airshow for years in the past. Statics change constantly, even moments right up to the show. I just find it strange that a hint was posted which one would assume that it's confirmed and then it's not on the initial list...

Several aircraft will be a first for Abby (if they don't cancel of course) Well, I guess you can understand why I've been very eagerly awaiting an official list. There's definitely a few unique things that I've been hearing about and want to b...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

With regards to the Hockey game, it could include members of the support crew that generally arrive before the official acts do so I wouldn't put too much weight on a Tuesday arrival in terms of performers just yet. Being that it is June, an official Static Display list seems a little overdue. I'm h...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Thursday's evening event (Red, White & You) will be taking place at Mill Lake Park, so whatever that noise is, it'll definitely be waking up a few ducks and geese around town!

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

This year Abbotsford is bringing back Airshow Week! If some of you can remember back to the Expo years, the Abbotsford community held fun aviation related events around the city in celebration of the upcoming airshow weekend. It was not only fun and exciting, but it was a great way to garner attenti...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

It seems like at this point the Skyhawks jump aircraft will likely be the Buffalo. I have also heard some rumours of some interesting unmentioned static aircraft that may be attending this year but I'll leave it for those with more knowledge to officially announce.

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

That is interesting that the F-86 isn't part of the Heritage Flight. I wonder if it will be doing a solo demo instead? It would be nice to see the AFHFF F-86 in formation with the Vampire that's coming. I'm sure something is in the works and we'll just have to wait and see what happens. On a side no...
