Hey guys,

Long time no post. Lots of interesting opinions. :shock:

I do have to apologize for our marketing team. They are new and looking to ensure the local folks have a bit of a buzz before show time.
Not saying its the right thing to do but it's what they are doing and yes, I understand some of the opinions being an airshow fan myself, its nice to know early to decide on long range planning.

All of that being said, here is the latest info for you.
Most of you know a lot of it but I would just like to clarify some of the info with the most up to date as of tonight.

Flying
Snowbirds
CF-18 Demo
CF Skyhawks
A-10 Demo
KC-135 Refuel Demo with aircraft TBD.
USCG MH-60 SAR Demo
B-17
Pete McCleod
Mike Tryggvason
NATO 70th flybys -USAF T38s and RCAF CT-155s
Jerry Conley Vampire Demo
2 Ship demo Red Knight and Black Knight T-33 Flybys
3 Ship flybys Vampire and 2 x T33s
Still hoping for a CF-18 and T-33 Heritage Flight. Not approved yet.


I will update the static list this week.

Note. All arrivals will be Thursday and Friday. Nothing on Wednesday.

Thanks Hook! Super excited to see what else gets added to the static line. And the red/black knight flight sounds very exciting! Certainly looking forward to thurs/fri arrivals and of course the friday night show. Still very much hoping Dorian doesnt affect iur assets too much. But expecting a handful of losses is realistic with a storm this size; this close to the show.

Regardless ASL is still my show of choice (even when as a alberta resident abby is closer)

Cant wait for the weekend!

Hook, thanks for the update and all of your ongoing efforts

I am looking forward to the static update, hoping for some more effort from the RCAF. Aside from our Eastern European involvement and Mali I am ignorant as to our operational tempo... So my expectations may be unrealistic, but at a week out, Cancon support is rather thin on the ground.

Bring on the Buff!

Hopefully the Friday evening show will be amazing as it always has.
Wishing for more CF -18s to come and escort our American friends in and do the usual high speed burner passes multiple times as in the previous years.
Oh and since Lockheed Martin is the sponsor maybe an F22 !!!!
