Re: Tacoma Freedom Fair & Airshow

WOW Thats awesome, might have to attend both! Where will the Super, Viper and Harrier be staged out of? Im assuming the Growler will come straight from Whidbey.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

The Rhino demo is dependant on how busy they are training pilots. Apparently there is a shortage of naval aviators and VF-122 is being kept busy with their day jobs.

I read that it was repainted last year.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

A little late to the party but here's a video of Monday's departure's. Unfortunately the wildfire smoke that blew in overnight made the video imaging kinda blah but the silver lining is that it did add for a pretty cool backdrop at the end of each clip. Enjoy :) Mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

There were actually four CT-155’s here this weekend. Two were on static display while the other two were parked in front of Cascade all weekend. One left after the show yesterday while the other three left today.

I got it all on video this morning and will post a short departure video as quickly as possible.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Woah. I'm more than certain that he meant no ill intentions when mentioning what he overheard. Seriously? This comment is definitely not needed.
