Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Personally I don't like it when anyone posts hints like this or saying "I know something you don't know" but won't tell anyone and leads everyone on for weeks and weeks. Stuff like this gets people's hopes up that something super exciting is coming. Then what happens if it never comes to f...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Not that I'm doubting him but is Mr. Bingofuel sure that this mystery plane only came here once. Because the list seems to be quite small if you narrow it down to a jet engine that's only been here once. I'm sure a lot of the jet aircraft that have been here once have been retired. I'm still going ...

Re: Windsor, Ontario May 27-28

Plus the 3x F-16 and the 2x F-22 on the hot ramp.. that right there I think covers that the possibility is there. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the reply Ryan. I was hoping you knew something ...

Re: Windsor, Ontario May 27-28

Also bear in mind the "invited List" of American aircraft is held on high hopes because it will never happen. The USAF is limited to 5 static aircraft only as per USAF regulations and the USMC rarely ever support airshows in general, even more so in case of Canadian shows.
