Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
JA Boomer basically echo’d my experience! People movers were great this year with very minimal wait. My only complaint (or constructive criticism :lol:) is the lack of the usual water tankers spraying down routes where the people movers and pedestrians frequent. Can’t blame anyone for that really th...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
Loving the footage, keep it coming! Great action in the afternoon for those that got a chance to capture the practices. Noticed Melissa Burns and Kyle Fowler were up for a decent amount of time and returned unexpectedly in formation which was really nice to see. Speaking of unexpected, I figured tha...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
What's different this year? Friday does not have walk-in passes. This means if you want to attend the Friday show, you have to purchase either a car load pass or a vanload pass. This makes it inconvenient for those who attend solo or with a partner. These changes were made to alleviate the traffic ...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
Weather is expected to be great this year - hoping I don’t jinx it but I’d stock up on the sunscreen and aloe! I look forward to seeing how the new parking format works out this year. The walk-in tickets may be hit or miss and the lack of them for Friday will be interesting to see. Hoping for 1 or 2...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
As far as the demo is concerned I’m really hoping there’s a lot more burner action with climbs and not just flybys atypical of past NORAD displays. Agree, and I'm hopefully as "NORAD demonstration, simulating the interception of an unidentified aircraft in restricted airspace" sounds diff...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
Website is also showing an F-15 on static. The idea is that Friday the Portland Eagles will be on static. Not sure what the plan is for Sat/Sun - they could end up on the hotline those days. As far as the demo is concerned I’m really hoping there’s a lot more burner action with climbs and not just ...
