This year happens to be Abbotsford Airshows 50th birthday and the Canadian Forces Showbirds are in town to help celebrate.

They arrived yesterday and used their practice slot this afternoon around 3:30. As usual I took my camera to work which is only 5 minutes from the airport and headed off to my usual hiding spot when I got off at 2:15. When I say hiding spot I'm not kidding because the police have the area closed so tight a grain of sand couldn't get through if it tried. Anywhoo ....I managed to crack off a few shots of not only them but a P-51, Spitfire and CF-18's which I will post in the next day or so as time permits.

In the meantime here's one for now.



Thanks for lookin'.
