Re: USAF F16 VIPER DEMO 2017 SCHEDULE

Looks like the PACAF F-16 demo team's profile is a tad different than the Shaw team's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw0rVQaG8_U&t=64s Especailly in the 2nd half seems much more dynamic...More Like Soloturk or the Belgians with lots of "Loaded" Rolls. I like this one better personally

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

I'm betting dollars to doughnuts that its the CF-18 that'll do a flyby at Mill lake, not any USAF jet. Keep in mind too that the CF18 pass from behind the crowd is almost at Mill Lake anyhow LOL. It is after all a Canadian 150 event. The "Hockey game" appears to be on the Wednesday before ...

Re: Possible 2018 European Tour for the Snowbirds?

From what I understand the Tutors don't have enough range to make it across the Atlantic. They'd have to replace both smoke containers underneath with fuel tanks, and I've heard even then it'd be almost impossible to pull off flight-endurance wise. That being said it is the RAF 100th Anniversary nex...

Re: Canadian Forces Snowbirds 2017 Schedule

Very Professional call by the team. With the weather being so terrible on Vancouver Island during their training season I'm sure they missed quite a few sorties. And considering what happened to 4 other major teams last year, better safe than sorry.

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

ICAS site now lists Pete McLeod as a performer this year, as well as the Heritage Flight Foundation. Don't know what they'd bring but this F-86 "demo/heritage flight" would be the likely candidate.

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

It sounds like you're saying NORAD but thinking NATO. NORAD is limited to the US and Canada. I imagine it will be CF-18s "intercepting" something else and maybe refueling?
Well....That's just a darn good point!

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Saw this posted by Samuel Millar on the Facebook Group, "Canadian Airshow Buzz" Looking very solid. I'm wondering what this "NORAD demo" will be. My money's on F-16's from either Belgium or Netherlands (Duh) Dutch F-16's have been in and out of Arizona lately training in good we...
