Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

Interesting and unusual that the Snowbirds are not the final act in the flying schedule on Saturday and Sunday (excluding some exceptions in years past when the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels have also been in attendence). I wonder if that is an intentional effort to alleviate some of the concentrated...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

So no surprise, prices going up and front row runway are now almost double. The most egregious thing is the camping, over $400!! Hi Strat45, If you are signed up as an Airshow Insider, Early Bird Runway seating is the same price as it was in 2022 ($15 front row/$10 regular). Camping pricing has inc...

Re: 2021 Abbotsford International Airshow

Re: 2021 Abbotsford International Airshow

We can confirm we are not entertaining a split Saturday/4-show schedule in the future. The decision to do so this year was based solely on the limited capacity of the drive-in event we were permitted to organize, and the sales revenue required to make a budget work. We did our best to keep SkyDrive ...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2020

The Blue Angels will be performing in Cold Lake on July 18 & 19, 2020, not August 8 & 9 as their website indicates. They initially offered Cold Lake the August dates and published them at ICAS 2018 without confirming with the show organizers. Cold Lake organizers requested different dates to...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

Hey everyone, Just wanted to say a quick word of thanks to all of your who waited patiently through some challenging weather this past weekend. The only two days of rain in the last 20 days couldn't have come at a worse time for us unfortunately. Another quick word of thanks to those of you who are ...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

The following is unofficial, unconfirmed, and otherwise completely off the record, but for anyone around YXX on Thursday afternoon, the CC-177 and the Snowbirds are expected to arrive at the same time. Like, The.Same.Time.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

A question for AIAS. With the lack of forest fires this year( so far) is it a possibility to have a Conair plane on static or flying? It has been a long long time since this has happened. Great work on the statics, looking forward to arrivals!! [/quote] Highly unlikely. Almost of Conair's aircraft ...
