So there's a possibility we will not have a Huntington Beach Air Show this coming weekend?
Then, I better catch Friday's practice.

I'd expect Saturday will happen either way (for all shows this weekend) based on the ICAS note. Military participation on Sunday is in question.

The Growler demo team from Whidbey Island made their first visit to Abby they are more than welcome to return next year!

Nice to have the Snowbirds back for the 2023 show. Unfortunate that it had to be an 8-ship display but great to see them just the same.

Still working through my Abby 2023 photos. Here's a few of the vapour filled F-35 practice demo Thursday. Full photo review of the (6 day) weekend coming soon....

And finally a few of some the performers after the show.

Headlining the show was the ACC A-10 demo team with solo performance and Heritage Flight. Greg Anders flew the P-51 in the Heritage Flight.

Following the CF-18s was the impressive Northern Stars aerobatic team 3-ship display.

Bringing the noise was a pair of CF-18s from Cold Lake, AB performing a two-ship tactical demonstration.

Continuing on...next up was Brad Wursten in the MXS, an unexpected display by the only diesel powered DHC-2 Beaver and a SAR demo by a CH-148 Cyclone.
