For those of you interested in the static display aircraft at CBAA 2017 held at Tradex, look to the skies tomorrow.

Quite a few have already arrived. Falcon, Honda, Lear and G280 just to name a few.

Just saw a post on Facebook that the Canada 150 CF-18 is currently in maintenance :cry:
Hopefully it is just a mid-week maintenance stop (grey jet at Penticton today).

Nice! Hopefully we'll see at least one of them fly tomorrow (preferably the "nice" looking one!).

I imagine you'll be located inside the fence at work; where is everyone else going to set up tomorrow?

I would assume the nice one is the Vigilantes CAG from VFA-151.

Your assumption would be correct. :)

So what's the smoke and visibility like today? I'm assuming a very good chance they won't be able to practice tomorrow?
