Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

I won't say too much but the NORAD demo is still on the table as well as the B-2. I've also heard the RAF is on the table and that was confirmed to me by a contact with the RAF. RAAF might also show coming from RF-A as they will be finishing (Thurs) when Abby is starting. Luftwaffe from Holloman co...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

RNLAF F-35 confirmed today Static only by the looks of it. The Dutch wanted to fly a demo but the USAF had to approve it and I guess they couldn't work things out. But still excited to see them coming because they still have to arrive and depart. :) Happy to see the RNLAF here, but out of curiosity...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Can anyone confirm the screaming eagle is going to be on static? PDX F-15's aren't attending this year or so I've heard. As far as I know the F-15's are from Oregon. Let's hope the Screamin Eagle is one of them! I heard they're from Oregon as well but for the life of me I can't remember where I hea...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Regarding arrival times, From years past the initial list usually never came out until about two weeks before the show and we're usually estimates. The most accurate list is usually out a week or so before the show once everything is confirmed that they're coming.

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Yes. Dutch F-35! finally someone got it....sorta. Don't hate me fellas but here's how my clues ended up. Old school Dictionary definition of a Clog (footwear) was literally "Long block or piece of wood". I figured if someone could narrow this definition to Clog footwear they'd surmise tha...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

Dutch F-35 demo, eh... Are we talking about a full on aerobatic demo? Sorry but I have know idea. All I know is that they hope to do a demo that is even if they come. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in. Even better let's hope someone from the Airshow that knows more can post. I just...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow

And I assure you, the Dutch F-35 probably won't be alone. ;) Argh. More teasers. And "cf18hornet": you even sounded opposed to teasers a couple of pages earlier. Anyway, hope something here is true. With Canada 150 and Abbotsford being designated as Canada's National Airshow, I was really...

There may possibly be an F-35 demo this year, only it won't be American. ;) That is if the Dutch confirm their participation.

But if they do a pass it's usually quite high up and not too exciting and is usually the break to land
