Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

They sold out! Did they though? Or did they see the mess and backlash of Friday's traffic, and decide one easy way to improve things on the weekend is to eliminate people purchasing tickets at the gate? Besides the no shows on the static line the biggest disappointment was the FAF Phenix crew. I sa...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

This was my 20 consecutive Abby, for the 60th anniversary show no less, so that means I've been to a third of them! This was a very different Abby for me. The last time Abby was in its regular format, my wife was eight months pregnant. So doing this year's show with a three year old and an eleven mo...

French left yesterday. F-15s will go home Tuesday. Two ship of Hornets just left. I'm sure 80% of everything else will depart between 9 and 11 AM per usual.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

Have they split the CF-18 and F-15C performances up on the app (from the NORAD formation)? Perhaps indicating that we will get a few more individual passes from each before they get together for the formation pass?

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

Excellent additions! "Prepare to be Shocked". Shock is a common Luftwaffe callsign, maybe an A400? Or GAF Typhoon? Or a Sparky aircraft - so a Growler display? I believe the "official" growler display duo is booked for Seafair the same weekend but ya never know Maybe a static di...

Very nice! I wonder if they're considering separating the heavy and light static aircraft between two taxiways like was the norm pre-sequestration.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2022

Does anyone else find that there is a lack of coordination between Abby's social media sites? Seems like a lost opportunity to get people excited and promote the show to me.

Five weeks out and I'm wondering if this show is going to have the wow-factor that the 60th deserves. Fingers crossed.
