Re: RAF Red Arrows announce 2019 North American Tour

Makes perfect sense as it fills the weekend between Hillsboro and Huntington Beach, September 28-29. I heard that the Hillsboro, OR location has been officially moved to Mcminnville, OR (about 55 minutes further south) due to runway construction at Hillsboro that won't be completed in time for the ...

Re: Boundary Bay Airshow '19

It seems as though one of the Snowbirds (#10) I believe is from Delta, so this may be the reason that they are performing at Boundary Bay. That is a strong possibility! I threw a posting up for the Snowbirds Comox Spring Training coming up on Wednesday and included this at the bottom of the post. H...

Re: Boundary Bay Airshow '19

The website http://czbbairshow.ca/ doesn't mention the Snowbirds or the CF-18 Demo team. Neither does the Snowbird site http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/snowbirds/schedule.page CF-18 does list Boundary Bay http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/cf-18-demo-team/schedule.page Try this link then: http...

For fans of the Canadian Snowbirds who like to make the trek to Comox, B.C. on Vancouver Island every year... The local newspaper in Comox (The Comox Valley Record) has recently released the flight training time slots in the lead up to them arriving for their annual Spring Training that will see the...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

And last time I checked it wasn't a two day flight from Abbotsford to Gatineau. Yeh I know...it's a mute point. But I digress.... The Red Arrows aren't expected to arrive in North America until the day before the Abbotsford show (Aug 8) so logistically speaking even with fingers crossed, they would...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

Not to mention that it would be impractical as the Red Arrows won’t even be ready to perform in time for Abbotsford. Personally I don’t see the reason to sulk over the fact that we have 3 Aerobatic Display teams instead of four. I’m more than excited for this years lineup and I know there will more...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

Dude, let it go... Abby fans do not have a good reputation in the wider industry. Spamming the Red Arrows asking them to completely upend their plans to come to Abby will accomplish nothing except lowering that reputation further. The team doesn't even decide where they go anyway. My apologies! I g...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

The official website reveal... https://www.raf.mod.uk/display-teams/red-arrows/news/red-arrows-north-american-displays-revealed/ Perhaps if there be enough fan support from Western Canada they might reconsider? I posted on their Facebook page. Join in - you never know - they still have time to amend...
