Definitely one of the better air shows held at Canada’s west
coast, the 2007 edition of Abbotsford provided the aviation
enthusiast with a nice mix of old and brand new. Nearly extinct
S-3B Vikings and F-117s, teamed up with brand new F/A-18Fs
and with Canada’s new pride: the CC-177. The latter flew in
directly from Long Beach (CA), where it was handed over a
few days earlier. The delivery flight led to Abbotsford, where it
was presented to the Canadas Minister of Defence. The
Globemaster III flew cross country to Trenton (Ont.) for the
official media presentation at its new home base on Sunday.
Fences were placed very close to the static aircraft, which was
not ideal for photography. Much better conditions were in place
for the air show as well as the flight lines. Also present were the
Snowbirds and the storage line of S-2 Trackers, which were
not read off.
