Now that the planes have landed and the crowds have dispersed, organizers are saying this yearâs Abbotsford International Airshow was a great success. Jim Reith, the new president of the airshow, said the performances and the attendance were strong throughout the event, which ran Friday through Sunday. The number of attendees has not yet been calculated, but Reith said that spectatorship was solid for a year without American military planes, which were grounded due to U.S. budget cuts. âWe went out and looked for interesting aircrafts and I think we had a good static lineup⌠We had virtually everything that the Canadian Air Force has to offer, either flying or on static display. âIâm ecstatic on how it went.â
