Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Great footage of the arrival! It feels good to once again see an aircraft with the Blue Angels touch down in Abbotsford.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

1994 didn’t have a demo but I do believe Fat Albert was present. Wasn’t this the year the Blues made their first appearance at Abbotsford in the F/A-18s? I know at the ‘86 there was simply no time to schedule a Fat Albert performance as that year was obviously stacked with performers. I might have ...

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

AirshowHawk, Gates open at 9 and the show ends at 4. At least that's what their banner on facebook says lol. I would think flying starts between 10-11. I will keep an eye on this and let you know. I appreciate it Dan, thanks. Couldn’t seem to find too much information on the website as of yet and i...

Re: Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018

Looking forward to attending this show as I will be in the area for a couple of weeks by coincidence. It will be my first time attending TONA and it will probably be the only east coast show of the season for me unfortunately. Definitely in for a treat with the Raptor and Tbirds! Anyone familiar wit...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Also with any luck, we'll see the first Fat Albert show in Abbotsford in 24 years (if my math is correct) I think you are right and it’s almost hard to believe. 1994 would be the last year we saw Fat Albert at Abbotsford. If memory serves me correct, in 2003 Fat Albert had to make an emergency land...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Hello AirshowStuff forums! I'd been looking for an airshow forum since airshowbuzz and then fencecheck shut down, unfortunately I just found this website and I have missed out on 35 pages of Abby discussion! This year's Abbotsford International Airshow was a real treat. A fine air display and a qua...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

I would like to input my opinion here, if I may. First off, congrats to Abbotsford for another successful show. Now, I have read through the majority of this thread, and I have noticed quite a bit of comparisons, and even "London is better then Abby" and vice versa. To be honest, why are ...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Sure the line up was a little weak, but I would definitely not say it was a disappointment. I had a great time Friday and the weather was just perfect for airshow viewing every other day as well. I'm glad I didn't cook up this year. Regardless of the line up of performers, the show is an event to en...
