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

Can someone please share how late is the static display open Friday? I'd like to try to get some night photography in with the statics... and the info isn't on the app.

I think 7 PM and therefore NO, but would rather check before showing up out there and freaking airshow volunteers out.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

For those who are interested, the tentative time scheduled for the Thunderbirds practice on Friday is 10AM - 11AM. It might be wise to get there early should this be the case. Of course, times are subject to change. This confirmed? Yes, per road closure information posted on the web site. Keep in m...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

It is a show for kids and their families sponsored by Ronald Mcdonald House, so that is why they don't sell tickets for that. Your best bet is to stick around late on the Thursday evening. Last year, the A-10, CF-18, Rob Holland, and a few others went up. I hope someone with a really nice camera ca...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

Now I learned this from comments on the Abby Airshow Facebook page so you should trust but verify: Blair Thandi: Joe A Kunzler Not a show, Thursday would be arrivals. There is a mini airshow from 5-8PM on that day as well. The CF-18 goes up as the sun is setting, and it looks amazing. I just wish th...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

I've been on Huntingdon for the last 15 years, I've never really given King a chance because I like seeing what's going on and even taking taxing pictures. Can you compare the two? How often do crews stay low all the way to King? Well I can’t say one is better than the other. It all really comes do...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

For departure day, I have seen things start to leave around 7:30. Everything would usually be done either around noon or 1. I am expecting a lot of people to be out there this year with all the radical stuff we have static wise, plus performers. Hoping for good flybys, we miss them. I am most excit...
