So, did anyone out there attend this year's show?

We went just for today (Sunday). It was pretty good, more or less like last year. The Snowbirds were awesome as usual but performed with only 8 planes as one of the pilots was ill and unable to fly.

   

I haven't gone in years. It's usually a little too expensive for my tastes and this year I was working 2 of the 3 days.

But what makes up for that is the fact that the jets often fly over my house as they circle the airport. Why, on Thursday all 9 Snowbrids buzzed my house

   

last time I went was '92. There was also a big trade show at the Tradex, involving aeronautical technology, which was just as interesting

   

I've never gone to the Abbotsford Airshow, though one year I'd like to. The only Airshow I ever went to was when I was 10 or 11 in Ft McMurray. Very small one for sure, but I believe the Snowbirds were there(long time ago now, 1976ish) and some other Fighters from Cold Lake were there. Was a good time.

   

I'd go again if they had a really rare act for the show again. It was back in the 90's they had the Russian Knights here and a year or two before a Concorde did a few flyby's and I heard back in the 80's an SR-71 showed up to make some glorious noise.
