Kayos Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I thought I'd share a couple pics from the 2016 Abbotsford Airshow I was at the other week. Unfortunately no F-22's this year. First time the F-35 has ever been in Canada though. Enjoy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilducky Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Looks like you guys had a good airshow.. Im kinda jealous that you could see the F-35 and have seen the F-22.. The 22 has still YET come to upstate NY. Must be to much fun for this state... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, could there have been any more Hornet demo's lol Would have been nice to have the F-16's back at the show. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted August 25, 2016 ED Team Share Posted August 25, 2016 Well in our case I believe its more of a case of the RCAF's replacement aircraft being up for grabs... we were watching a sales pitch :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
