Like I dunno... if I may be a bit selfish maybe an EA-18G Growler from VAQ-133 Wizards - I know two of the aircrew, "Miss Lippy" and "Papa Roach" would be so happy to use the afterburner on departure day knowing the cheering of joy would go up all up and down Abby with tears streaming down my cheeks! Those two studs got robbed of their OLF Coupeville photo call by some very bad dudes and dudettes - like those Wizards to get theirs at the best airshow in North America if not the world: ABBOTSFORD!

As before, I want more RCAF attendance. Frankly I'd love to see a Harvard-Harvard II pairing again.

I also understand Canadian Museum of Flight is sending warbirds. Stoked.
sometimes I read your posts and swear you must do drugs

With regards to the German A400, I think that Germany still does pilot training at Holloman so they do make regular flights to this side of the pond.
Very nice start to the static, hopefully more than one aggressor F-16 Love the new paint scheme that they have. Looking forward to the rest of the weeks announcements.

I love all the statics. Is this all the US will be sending, since the American week is over? Having 2 tankers back is really nice.

All-American week was just a way to thematically group the first static announcements. You can expect more US announcements in the weeks to come.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a EA-18G at Abby yet, given that they're practically based next door...
