Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
Loving the footage, keep it coming! Great action in the afternoon for those that got a chance to capture the practices. Noticed Melissa Burns and Kyle Fowler were up for a decent amount of time and returned unexpectedly in formation which was really nice to see. Speaking of unexpected, I figured tha...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023

This makes it inconvenient for those who attend solo or with a partner. These changes were made to alleviate the traffic ...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
Weather is expected to be great this year - hoping I don’t jinx it but I’d stock up on the sunscreen and aloe! I look forward to seeing how the new parking format works out this year.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2023
Website is also showing an F-15 on static. The idea is that Friday the Portland Eagles will be on static. Not sure what the plan is for Sat/Sun - they could end up on the hotline those days. As far as the demo is concerned I’m really hoping there’s a lot more burner action with climbs and not just ...
