Re: Canadian International Airshow 2018

Who wants to be disappointed? They added Christian Eagle, Long EZE and Giles 202. Still hoping for a Sea King or H-34. At least it still says "More acts to come - Stay tuned"? Lol. The official show website being moved from it's own website, to being lumped into as part of the CNE site, i...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

Everyone relax. Emotions are high, as everyone hates seeing this stuff. I personally didn't see anything wrong with what cf18hornet said. He also said it, with respect and used the proper wording imo, to tell what HE himself had heard. It's not a case of "my best friend's sister has a best frie...

Hope everyone is ok!

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

How was the NORAD fly-by? I know the F-15 not showing up sucked, but it sounds like Friday had 2 x CF-18s and 2 x F-16s, which is still a good looking formation. Was it the same today? Any extra solo passes by aircraft?

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018

-Zero security check at the foot entrance, what a joke. Agreed. Security at the gate was a joke. ‘Any alcohol?’ ‘Nope’ ‘ok you can go’ without checking our bags. We didn’t. I can't fathom how this is a complaint? I totally agree, unless your complaint with no security, means you're scared for your ...

Re: Military Intercepts Q400 Near Seattle - 8/9/18

Here' s a video that was shot by John Waldron, who posted on his facebook. It was also shown on CNN. The dude did a roll, so insane.

Re: Airshow London 2018

Confirmed! USAF C-17 Globemaster III from McChord AFB!

Edit: Airshow London posted that it will be doing fly-bys, not a full demo. Always love seeing the C-17 fly in any capacity!
