Regarding the Cormorant, the airshow Facebook page added: It may even perform one of the SAR demos at the #abbyairshow.

My understanding is that it will also act as an emergency/safety response standby during the weekend. Friday might be the day to catch it flying if it does happen probably early in the show. Nothing official on that though, just a rumour at this point if anything at all.

The SAR demos are always tentative just in case they get called out . It has happened more than once that they have had to leave during the show. Not necessarily the demo but static as well.

Taken from the Legacy Flight thread.


VFA-122 has been doing a dual Super Hornet Legacy program at all their shows thus far.


Hopefully this holds true for Abbotsford.

Thanks.
Would there be an easy transit option to get there on the Thursday for arrivals ?

F-5N Aggressors confirmed for static! I believe the last time we had aggressor F-5s at Abbotsford was in 2010. Great announcement.
