2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Awesome info! Thanks as always, iceman! Err, I mean Bingofuel.

By my count, that means we should see Snowbirds, 3xF-35, at least 5xCF-18, at least 4xF-16, 2xF-15, 2xA-10, the F-86, and a trainer or two. A few heavies, and some assorted warbirds. Missing a bomber, but maybe a last minute surprise?

And thanks again for the approx. times (and any updates): makes it easier to plan the timing of my drive from Vancouver.

Should be at least 5xF16s and I am hearing possibly another F-35 coming so that would bring that up to x4

The super came in solo last year, didnt it?

That's correct. One came in the early afternoon and the second came in around 7:00 the same evening.

But 2 Supers still came.

I was talking about the static.

So is the twilight show still a go? It probably will, but what i'm concerned about is the smoke and dryness from the heat effecting the wall of fire, and fireworks.

Yes the 3 F-35's I mentioned are the ones already long confirmed. As far as I know the static F-16's will be Oklahoma guys between their demo. They get towed into the static area when they're not flying. So 4 total F-16's..again, as far as I know. Might have changed lately.

There will be no wall of fire or bomb bursts this year. No pyrotechnics, except maybe fireworks I think are still a go.

KC-135 coming loooks to be from March ARB. A-10's from Davis Monthan AFB

Thanks Bingo, wouldn't it be nice if ANY of this was on Airshows website, Facebook or Twitter!?!

Thank you from clearing that up. I was hoping there would be 3 bases but still happy to see the OK birds here.

Where was the other one? i only saw 3 122 birds

Abbotsfords Facebook page just posted about 4 F-35s coming. So 2 Dutch for static and 2 USAF flying I presume.

According to a rare post on the Facebook page, "two pairs of F-35s" are expected. This was buried within a post about the smoke, the volunteers, and craft beer.
