I am glad that the Abbotsford Airshow is doing a great job of keeping the public updated this year, it shows that they are listening to our feedback from last year. I hope they continue to provide accurate information. I can understand why sometimes constantly updating a website can become tedious. ...

I can also very vividly confirm that we did not have a flying TBM in 2016. Edit: Just wondering if anyone here shares the same passion about CY...

Thanks for sharing Gary. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread for more updates.

Buck Roetman of Wild Horse Aviation has been added to the line up and will be performing at the show this year!
