Are CF-18s and the Buffalo considered historic aircraft?
Would love to see the Lancaster again. Or a B-17 or better yet, a B-29!!

It’s my pleasure Anthony! My goal is to simply provide as much up to date information as I can. :)

I don't know if I should say anything or say anything here, but it would sure be nice if the BCTransit shuttle to the airshow started at least a half hour before the gates opened. The shuttle normally runs a bit late, and by the time we get to the booths they're sold out :-( .

Thanks.

Saw a Snowbird leaving the Abbotsford airport this morning around 7:45am. Does anyone know if this was just a routine site-check or something else?

Nice surprise to hear the sound of that little turbojet engine in June.
