Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

I love all the statics. Is this all the US will be sending, since the American week is over? Having 2 tankers back is really nice. All-American week was just a way to thematically group the first static announcements. You can expect more US announcements in the weeks to come. Good to hear. VAQ-133 ...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

I hope so too for more US stuff. Like I dunno... if I may be a bit selfish maybe an EA-18G Growler from VAQ-133 Wizards - I know two of the aircrew, "Miss Lippy" and "Papa Roach" would be so happy to use the afterburner on departure day knowing the cheering of joy would go up all...

This American also wants a lot of Canadian kit on display. Preferably Harvard IIs and Hawks.

Re: 2019 Oregon International Airshoow

Just received some bad news, the airshow will be moving to McMinnville Airport this year due to runway construction at Hillsboro. While this might be fine for the casual viewer, MMV's runway is quite a bit shorter than HIO so that'll probably eliminate military statics and also MMV is not good for ...

That would be much appreciated, especially if we could please get a Eurofighter flying demo ;-).

Re: MAX lens size (Goofy military rules)

I've had my issues with NASWI and photography too. If there is an open house and if I do go, I will go with a friend and buy up the swag when the gates open - leaving the 100-400mm sigma behind - then race down to Mukilteo for the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum (FHCAM) fly day at 1 PM. Th...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

If you believe the Abby Airshow App (And that's a big IF) +Erickson collection P-47 and P-38 Lightning. Awesome if it's true! Would be the first P-38 in Abbotsford since early 1980's I believe. +CH-148 Cyclone SAR demo I believe the app. It's run by the airshow society. Good to see the Cyclone ther...

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2019

Looks like they had 2 F-18F's in the legacy flight last weekend in Florida. Hopefully we get the same. VF-122 is the squadron that will supply the aircraft as per their IG page. HFF website lists Waco UPF-7, DC-3, and P-51B "Impatient Virgin" to appear at Abbotsford 2019. Looks like their...
