Here's another throwback, the schedule of events from 1997:

Chris, when did you stop doing the website? Good question! I had to go back into my archive emails to find out. 2015 was my last year. I stopped volunteering when I was asked to do things outside of what I signed up for (like answering phones during the Airshow). Ha! Story checks out. The airshow w...

Great find. Brings back fond memories of when I did the Airshow website (note the inclusion of bases the aircraft were from )

Seriously is no one at the airshow spell or grammar checking their emails??

That right there is a microcosm of what we've being discussing on here, and why I think it's fair to ask questions about the effectiveness of the organizers.

The announcer did a great job of working the song titles into his narration at Abbotsford.

Boy, London seems to put on an unreal show every year. I have a program from the 1997 Abbotsford Airshow (I was there but didn't make it to the airshow as I fell sick), it featured flybys by most if not all fast movers in the USAF inventory.

I couldn't help myself, and it was actually fun to look back! These are the military aircra...
