A restored Mikoyan Mig-17 Fresco flying during the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was unique to see this Cold War era jet. Second time that I've ever seen one of these.
The plane that I was most excited to see fly at the airshow this year! A restored Mikoyan Mig-17 Fresco on the static display at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was unique to see this Cold War era jet. The Mig-17 was actually the most feared fighter plane for a time. No NATO fighters were able to beat it until the F4 Phantom II entered service in the 1960s. It was still cool to see and just as intimidating as it was back in it's prime.

Got a private little airshow today. 3500' @ 412 mph, just outside the backyard.
Didn't know they knew I was home.:-)

The RCAF CF-18 Hornet demo during the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow. The Cf-18s are now due to be replaced by the new CF-35 Lightnings by 2027 making this years airshow one of the last few times that they'll be at Abbotsford. It'll be sad to see them go when they're finally retired.
With a maximum speed of 95 mph (152 km/h) its performance as fighter was "undistinguished". But it served several years during WW1 as a good trainer
A Vought F4U Corsair flying in a demo the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It flew a solo demo later on in the airshow and was fantastic, pilot handled the old warbird well. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.
The Buckeye was the primary jet trainer for the Navy for more than 30 years. The North American T-2 Buckeye was the United States Navy's intermediate training aircraft, intended to introduce Student Naval Aviators to jets. It entered initial service in 1959, and was replaced by the T-45 Goshawk in 2008.
I wonder if this graphic was a dieting aid. "If you go for a midnight snack, the Stukas will get you!"

This pass, the last of four, was right over our house near Metrotown in Burnaby, probably for the closing ceremonies of the World Police and Fire Games (or the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival -- both events are nearby).
You can almost read the markings on the planes, despite the fading light (it was around 8 p.m.) and the blur from speed. I enhanced this image a bit to bring out the colour of the planes: they were pretty close to silhouettes in reality.
