The Thunderbirds no longer have Abbotsford on their schedule for '22.

The 6th and 7th? Seems early. It's always on the second weekend of August.

Curious as to why they changed from their usual weekend.

I assume it was to work with the Thunderbirds schedule since those were their posted dates. If they aren't coming anymore I'm guessing the dates change back to the usual second weekend in August.

If I'm not mistaken, 2022 will be the Abbotsford Airshow's 60th anniversary right?

you are indeed right my friend. Hopefully we will get some really good stuff to celebrate. I wonder why the Thunderbirds aren't on the 2022 schedule anymore? The 50th anniversary was a pretty good one filled with afterburners, especially that RCAF demo they had.
