The first of the few warbirds that will be at Abbotsford this year: A-1 Skyraider and P-51 from Heritage Flight Museum are confirmed. I’m not sure what the standing is for Heritage and Legacy flights on the same days but with the current schedule it seems like each day will have one or the other.

EDIT: Looks like both Heritage Flight and Tailhook Legacy flight will take place on each day

Planning to visit Abby just for the airshow, flying in from Manitoba. Since the show is drive in only not sure how to get in. Was wondering if anyone is interested in sharing a seat in their car. Will share the ticket cost and I am fully vaccinated :D :D

There likely will be some flypasts on the Saturday day and night show. Someone mentioned to me that there was plans for it and it seems to be hinted now in the recent Airshow Insider email. Very curious to see what happens.

No flybys as previously speculated but Saturday day time show will have a CH-148 Cyclone SAR demo and Saturday night show will have a CP-140 Aurora demo.

According to the email I received both demonstrations are during the day time show. I assume this means we are only waiting on one Saturday evening performance to be announced to fill out the weekend schedule.
