I'm skeptical about the KC-10, I thought they were basically already withdrawn from service as of March? I think they're around until September. Also when's the last time we've seen (other than cascade KC-130 or Fat Albert) a USMC aircraft on display in Abbotsford? 2004 ish maybe? Nothing on this l...

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.

Certainty some things are out of the control of the airshow staff, and I can't comment on their effort/performance, but I do think they open themselves up to criticism by how the social media and event itself is run.
