Well..a model of a MQ-9. Not sure exactly what that is, a plastic mock-up?

Can't picture them flying a drone to the show anyways, so model or real deal doesn't make much of a difference. I imagine one of the heavies will bring it up.

Another addition to the static lineup. Looks to be a promising year.

The Reaper at Lethbridge last July was the same model. It was brought in a C-5M. Still pretty cool to see it, and they had 2 Airmen from Creech AFB by it all day answering questions about it.

Save the dates!!!

For those of us fortunate to live in the Lower Mainland / Pacific Northwest / Vancouver Island areas - it would appear that the Snowbirds have recently added 2 more shows to their 2018 schedule for British Columbia now including August 1st in Vancouver (consequently this is the same day as the Honda Celebration of Light Fireworks over English Bay!). The other show is the following Wednesday August 8th which sees the team electing to fly over Nanaimo for a show prior to the Abbotsford Airshow.

Gary :D
