Abbotsford International Airforce. Seriously is no one at the airshow spell or grammar checking their emails?? If I had the time, I would personally offer to volunteer to prevent stuff like that from happening. I'm assuming a 3rd party does the marketing for them. It would be a lot more beneficial ...

I like the idea of that.. the RCAF cargo component has some other newer options that could be readily available. But I'm just dreaming at this point.

I've been trying to stay quiet and hoping to see something that would give me, well, hope. It's not looking that way - I'd heard some "rumours" that we'd be getting some exciting international participation for RCAF 100 but I now fear that AIAS has once again dropped the ball. And badly. ...

Here's a throwback from the internet archive. This is the Abbotsford Airshow website from 20 years ago in 2004.

Vertigo Airshows FOXJET Twin Jet Sailplane will be performing at this years show. Looking forward to seeing it fly during the night show on Friday.

Looks like we’re getting the F-22 Demo this year along with the CF-18. Hoping there’s info regarding the Frecce Tricolori North American tour soon and keeping my fingers crossed that Abby will be a stop for them. Edit: Looks like Frecce Tricolori will be in New York around the time of Abbotsford. Bu...

JA Boomer basically echo’d my experience! People movers were great this year with very minimal wait. My only complaint (or constructive criticism :lol:) is the lack of the usual water tankers spraying down routes where the people movers and pedestrians frequent. Can’t blame anyone for that really th...

Loving the footage, keep it coming! Great action in the afternoon for those that got a chance to capture the practices. Noticed Melissa Burns and Kyle Fowler were up for a decent amount of time and returned unexpectedly in formation which was really nice to see. Speaking of unexpected, I figured tha...
