I remember going to airshows when I was very young, and marvelling at all these same aircraft…43 years ago! Even then, they were just starting to show their age.
I am so glad that I switched my light bulbs in my apartment ,for the environment ! Great Video, my "Go to Abbotsford day" is always the Monday afterwards. Have been doing that since the Vulcan days, still in my old Citroen Diesel. For some reason, I don't feel guilty driving a 42 year old Diesel, wonder why. Thank you Erickson Aviation Media, Big Hug, Bas YVR
Great Video! Never Gets Tiring seeing the BUFF! What a Beast the C5 is! The Landing Gear of a C5 is Super Impressive in its own right with its Staggering amount of Tires!😱 Regardless of what the Haters and Critics say the KC46 is One Nice looking Aircraft! The Canadian CC-330 Husky is also a Fine looking Aircraft!👏Abbotsford Air Show has one Impressive lineup!👍👏
Thank you for the videos I had to leave early and didn't get a chance to see much. Besides the videos with the incredible zoom on your camera is better than my poor eyes could see even being there.
Man it sucks: it’s either I go to Abby on the RCAF’s 100th anniversary, or I got watch history be made as the Hawaii Mars makes its final ever flight: I chose the latter, and although it may be regrettable in some aspects, I’m also glad I made that choice too: I wish I could’ve done both though!
Ive always wanted to go to the Abbotsford airshow but could never afford it or I was always working to pay off my land.The closest ive ever gotten wete the Snowbirds flying down oyr narrow valley over the lake.I was in the middle of the bridge and could hear this roar and see these little dots down the lake.One of them went under the bridge.Ill never forget that.🤣
2 best years were Expo 86. And the start of the first Gulf War. The club I was with sold soft ice cream every year, (until the change). I would be there the Thursday before the airshow. I would get to see all the planes land. The year of the Gulf War, I watched them all land. Friday morning I watched most of the military planes all leave in a hurry.
Don’t get me wrong I really like seeing the fighter’s but I love seeing the larger aircraft, especially the B-52 . Guess I’m partial because my Father was in SAC and worked with the pilots to make sure they had full supplies of anything they needed.
Man i just landed in YVR sadly I don't have time to see the show, where are the aircraft parked and will they be over the skies near the airport hotel tomorrow?
Oh my god i love that airshow! I haven't been since the 90's. We used to do a bus tour from the island. Does the warthog still do a strafing run and they blow up all the petrol bombs or is that too politically incorrect?? I am kind of amazed that all of the bleeding hearts didnt try to have it cancelled.😅😂 Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! No more explosions, but it's actually because storage rules for explosives changed making it nearly impossible to accomodate. This is the final year of the a-10 demo team, and unfortunately they didn't come to Abby.

Back in the day all the fast air used to parade over metro Vancouver the day before the Airshow but the "woke" Vancouver no fun city council put a stop to it 😢
They used to do a lot of fly bys over city and airport but too much traffic these days. Before airshow at yxx which began about 1961, the show was at yvr and called airforce day. The golden hawks and red knight used to perform there and then over the PNE. Then the snowbirds did the same in the very beginning of the squadron. They still do fly overs sometimes. Airforce day was huge. The vulcan used to show up in it’s white livery as well. Avgas and jet fuel were real cheap back then.
@@EricksonAviationMedia pne would have military jets over the fairgrounds and surrounding areas twice a day at pretty low level when I was very young so early 60s
Years ago the local paper and media reported on the thousands and thousands of chickens and turkeys that would die, by huddling in the corners of their enclosure. Caused by their fear of the stupid jets flying so low over the farms. Interesting why no more reporting on this. Way past due to end this dinasour, just a noise and major air polluter, in a already poor air quality area. Cheers.
The B-52 sounds like the 9th gate of hell has been opened. The video does it no justice. I cannot stand the stupid farting blubbery sound of those old prop planes from WW2. So damn annoying. The B-52, F-22 and C-5 on the other hand, sound so amazing.
Awesome arrival catches and great video work as usual. I hope the smoke stays away for the show..
Thanks! I think it will be fine. Should be a steady breeze to keep the temperature down.
Living vicariously after getting smoked out at Cold Lake...thanks for recording and posting 😄
You got it! 👍

Awesome camera work! Quality is top-notch.
The scream of the B-52s never gets old. Such a cool sounding engine.

Great footage! So awesome! I’m going tomorrow. Can’t wait!!
The raptor demo tonight was the best I've watched (and I've seen a lot). Razz is a treat to watch! Enjoy it tomorrow!
Keep the videos coming! My sisters a Canadian Sky Hawk. Watching along from the Alberta oil sands !
Heard they were having trouble finding a jump platform for them this weekend. Hope they can get some jumps in!
@@EricksonAviationMedia I got the text saying they were jumping at 17:15 today
I would imagine that the A-1 was probably going max speed and the F-22 was just above stall speed to get that shot at 16:26
amazing airshow video
I was waiting for this! Thank you!
You bet! Hope it lived up to expectations!
Thanks for posting, you did a fantastic job.
Thanks 👍
cant wait to see b52 on sat!!!
It's an awesome sight.
Thank you!!! Without doubt the best video I have seen regarding these fantastic planes.
Wow, thank you!
Nice work!

Impossible decision. Don't think you'll regret the Mars though!
Very lovely job Erickson.
Thanks! Just doing what I love! Glad others love it too!
Fantastic... Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!

Thanks!
I should start recording from my home in the Middle Fork - Kinda Noisy today but great line-up!
Do it! Or just enjoy and then watch mine! 🤣
Thanks for sharing, verycool
Thanks for watching!
Love it when they tip their wings. lot of different looking aircraft
B 52 Outstanding Aircraft
Awesome video thank you 😊 very much 😎
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic footage! Can I ask how you knew when they arrived?
Thank you
Any idea why the f-16 demo was so short on Friday? Was really looking forward to it
It's not an official demo team like the Raptor, just a NORAD demonstration. What we saw was actually quite a bit more than I expected.

I would get to see all the planes land. The year of the Gulf War, I watched them all land. Friday morning I watched most of the military planes all leave in a hurry.
Crazy to think of. Even crazier I'm sure to witness it. Thanks for sharing and watching!
thanks for the video m8
Missed the show this year :c but I'll be around for my early 20th present next year hopefully :)
Hopefully!
Fantastic video quality! What equipment are you using if you dont mind my asking?
Thanks! I'm shooting handheld with the Sony AX-53. It has its issues, but I like it overall.
very steady hands
I saw the A10s flying above my house!
Nice of them to do a few passes on arrival!
Any time an A-10 does a flyby, there needs to be speakers giving us a BRRRRT.
I wish! 😔
Great video 👍. Wouldn't be much of a show without the USAF😊
Globe masters are awesome as well.
Don’t get me wrong I really like seeing the fighter’s but I love seeing the larger aircraft, especially the B-52 .
Guess I’m partial because my Father was in SAC and worked with the pilots to make sure they had full supplies of anything they needed.
Love the heavies! Wish they'd play in the pattern a bit longer though. Don't see enough touch and goes anymore.
Sucks that we got booted from the spot, had to camp out by the airport entrance and almost missed the b-52
Ya, that was ridiculous.
Sad seeing the smoke in BC, I hope it all gets fixed
No BBBRRRRRRR from the A10 ☹️
Man i just landed in YVR sadly I don't have time to see the show, where are the aircraft parked and will they be over the skies near the airport hotel tomorrow?
Ah yes, airshow fever the week before the show begins, about the only thing I miss about home.
Airshow week is the best week!
When do you go there for this? I was at the airshow and all I wanted to see was the A-10s fly
A full day or more of waiting before the show and also on the Monday when they leave. It's exhausting, but worth it.
Canada 🇨🇦
That C-5M looks like a big whale. Very impressive that beast can fly! 😮
It's impressive. And it gets off the ground in a hurry too.
The fact that the F-16 is still a viable military aircraft pretty much shows that the fighter mafia was right.
There is no F-16 there, it is f15 eagle
@@שלוםעם-ג2מ. Might want to watch again. Definitely f16 at 8:35ish.
I was they best show ever my favorite was the globemaster though ❤
Globemaster is coming in this morning!
@@EricksonAviationMedia I know so excited but the f16 is it going to be a good show two
Where is Mars Hawaii
Probably do a fly past Sunday with the Snowbirds
Sadly not coming. Apparently the Airshow asked and were denied. Too bad.
Unfortunately not to be, is my understanding. But I guess we can hope for a change of heart.
@@EricksonAviationMediaDid the airshow management offer up gas money ?
Did the F-22’s not land?
Just landed 10 minutes ago. Spent the night at Whidbey Island.
Oh my god i love that airshow! I haven't been since the 90's. We used to do a bus tour from the island.

It was actually a conservative dominated council and mayor at the time .lol
Worried about an accidental bomb or 10, falling off into the “Rainbow, Soy, zone”
How dare they haha

IT SEESM TO BE THE "U S AIR FORCE ABBOTSFORD AIR SHOW " !!
Anyone else get the feeling we are preparing for war?

Like this comment if you were there, I was there
Why are we paying carbon tax?
For this awesome entertainment and educational moment
@@ironelfin1142not to mention inspiring a new generation of aviators.
Smog show
Didnt c any GOATs pity
