The Navy's demonstration team was in town for an air show this weekend. That's Mount Garfield behind them. It dominates the landscape north of town.
Just before the airshow was about to start the sun came out and the grey clouds disappeared for the half hour show.
Much better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

A US Navy E/A18G Growler flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.
