Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

There’s a chance the C-17 demo may not coming anymore. The aircraft broke on the weekend and the crews are having a difficult time repairing it. Unfortunately getting another C-17 to replace it for the demo is most likely not possible. Damn, fingers crossed! I've always enjoyed the C-17 demos. It s...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

1. From my memory, the Osprey and the B2 are the only US type assets that havent been on static display at AIA (I remember the B2 has done a flyby) is there other US military type aircraft that we haven't seen? Of the more well known, have we have seen an E-2 Hawkeye, U-2 Dragon Lady, or EA-18G Gro...

Re: Boundary Bay AirShow 2023

It appears as if it only a one day show now according to their Facebook page. The A-10 demo page still has a two day show listed and the CF-18 only has one day scheduled.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

Maybe I'm spoiled but we used to get pyro, simulated attack runs, low passes, and an exciting show. This was pretty sterile. You can blame the Canadian Government for the lack of pyro since they’re the ones that decided to change the laws in how explosive/pyrotechnics have to be stored. Unfortunate...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

First and foremost: thankfully, it sounds like the Snowbirds pilot was not injured, as the plane "suffered damage" during takeoff (according to a story on Global BC). The article also stated the plane was joining the team already in Penticton; if it wasn't one of the "performance&quo...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

NORAD Formation Flight has been added via the app, but the aircraft are unspecified. I just hope that it will not be disappointing like it was in 2018. They didn't even give any fast flybys that year, just really short formation passes and landed. Statics only has a few choppers up via the app. Sor...

Re: 2021 Abbotsford International Airshow

Does this mean we won't be getting any of the typical flight narration and music with the demos? Noticed this with the London show last year. Just bought tickets in the green zone. Worried we won't get the full experience that far out. Thanks - New here. I believe there's going to be a radio statio...
