Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

@Wingnut, you missed the two-ship Growler AGAIN, didn't you? One seemed to go technical early in the Sunday display? haha yup, missed it again. i think they got 2 passes in before one had to pull off. maybe next year! And for the show: The parking was unreal. no issues at all, no waits in and no wa...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

Anyone know if the 2 ship growler demo happened today? For those that weren't there the 2nd growler had to pull out and deal with some issues yesterday. Still a cool demo solo but would have loved to have seen the combo. Going tomorrow, hope to see it

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

Great email today on arrival times. Assuming everyone gets the insider email so no need to post? I can't remember if it was last year year or the year prior but the Osprey was scheduled for static but was pulled at the last second. 2 questions: 1. From my memory, the Osprey and the B2 are the only U...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

A few more thoughts after the air show weekend- If you got there early, you were ok. An hour or 2 after gates opened and u were screwed. It was a HOT weekend. We had 3 families together yesterday, 7 kids. It was a full time job keeping them cool. I didn’t see any misting setups like years past and t...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

Sounded like the Thunderbirds did a surprise performance today? Curious how the flying activities went on the first night? Actual static turnouts? Scheduling? I believe the Thunderbirds did a partial practice earlier in the day. Apparently the #6 jet had a flame-out mid practice and made a quick la...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

The NORAD flight still looks there to me. Also, looks like they added a C-17 Demo by the USAF. Speaking of which... here's the departure from yesterday! CF18 practice demo video isn't done rendering this morning before I have to leave. Ah they just updated the sched with times. Glad it's back on th...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

Clearly they are re-jigging the schedule last minute and I'm hoping this isn't final, but if you go to the website they have the acts listed for today and the NORAD display has been removed (along with the snowbirds of course) Anyone know anything about it? Edit: AIA ig says the US C17 is now perfor...
