Dynamic aircrafts on display at show As I sit here writing this, the weather is absolutely perfect for an airshow – blue skies, light breezes and, of course, the beautiful airshow backdrop of Mt. Baker shimmering in the distance. The reason we have traditionally chosen the second weekend in August as our airshow date is its reliability weather-wise. This year our big change is our Friday Twilight Show. We will take advantage of that backdrop in the soft light of the setting sun to put on an unforgettable display featuring some of the world’s best twilight aerial performances. From Dan Buchanan, who will load up his ultralight with pyrotechnics to trace graceful arcs across the sky, the Indy Boys' jet-powered schoolbus racing down the runway with a tongue of flame to light its path, to Matt Younkin who has cleverly fitted a huge number of strobes and spotlights to illuminate an aerobatic spectacular in the dark titled, “Magic by Moonlight." The CF-18 Hornet will perform just as the light is dying and the afterburner
plumes will be visible in the darkening sky. "Manik" will conclude his demo by exploding a huge wall of fire. Our finale will showcase the wizardry of Team Rocket in a two-ship aerobatic dance with pyrotechnics streaming from their wings. Finally, you will be able to relax and watch a fireworks performance to conclude your memorable night.
all around North America and they are led this year by Major “Paco” Gobeil who was most recently here as the CF-18 Hornet demonstration pilot in 2012. This year’s Hornet demo will be performed by Capt. “Manik” Runge of 409 Squadron in a display highlighted by pyrotechnics operated by April Zalesky and her AV8FX explosions.

aerobatics in their P-51 Mustangs, the Bremont Horsemen. The coup for Abbotsford though, is the first appearance of a restored de Havilland Mosquito, a twin-engined “wooden wonder” and one of only two flight-worthy examples in the world. One of the most versatile fighters of the Second World War, the Mossie was adept at low-level and high-attack bombing and strafing raids, long-range photo reconnaissance, and as a pathfinder and night fighter. Steve Hinton will pilot the airplane, making a number of passes on both Saturday and Sunday, and she will be on static display as well. Don’t miss this rare piece of aviation history. All in all, it will make for an incredibly entertaining and exciting airshow and I hope you will come out once again to be thrilled by the magic of flight and the daring of the young men in their flying machines.

One of the greatest shows not quite on Earth returns next week as the 2014 Abbotsford International Airshow (AIA) takes flight, Aug. 8-10. The airshow, which has been named one of the 10 best in North America, will once again feature a full range of performances, static displays and jetand prop-fueled fun. The three-day event will see
the return of the CF-18 Hornet along with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. But the show is also welcoming new acts and performances, including a demonstration by one of only two flyable Mosquito airplanes in the world. And a new twilight show Friday night will allow the audience to see the various performers in a brand new light. AIA president Jim Reith has

been involved in airshows for 15 years and was a pilot in the late 1980s and early ‘90s. But he still gets excited to see the public descend on AIA for one of the biggest events of the year. “For me, it’s a labour of love,” he said. “As an air force pilot I was actively involved here. I flew here with the snowbirds in ‘79 and before that I flew here with the Voodoos in ‘77, so it’s cool to come back on the organizational
side, set it up and be involved in recruiting the different performers. “It’s very gratifying.” Part of that gratification comes from seeing months of planning pay off. Organizing the airshow is a huge task, one that involves upwards of 1,000 volunteers, several committees and, of course, thousands of audience members. The
moving parts aren’t just on the jets roaring over head. “It’s like any kind of show, whether it’s a Broadway musical or an airshow,” he said. “You’re bringing all the elements together and all the people together and then it’s great when you see the crowd walk away with a smile on their faces having just witnessed something that was really special.”

Twilight event gives airshow a different look Organizers selling weekend passes for the first time
The debut of a twilight show at the 52nd Abbotsford International Airshow (AIA) should give audience members a whole new way to watch the much-awaited event. In the past, the airshow has offered the same programs Friday through Sunday. That will change this year, though, as a twilight show replaces the Friday program and will dazzle spectators as the sun begins to dip toward the western horizon.
The changes will showcase the pyrotechnical acrobatics of Team Rocket, Dan Buchanan, while others – like the Jet Schoolbus and the CF-18 Hornet will put on shows designed for the evening. The night’s aerobatic display of Matt Younkin’s Twin Beech will be illuminated by dozens of external lights. The twilight show will open to the public at 4:30 p.m. and will feature most of the acts of the day
show, including the Snowbirds. The show will conclude with fireworks at 9:45 p.m. The addition of the evening show has AIA president Jim Reith excited. “It’s two different products and a whole different look and feel,” he said. “We expect there will be people who want to see the night performances and the day performances.”
To provide the public the opportunity to see both, the airshow will also be selling weekend passes for the first time. “It just seemed like it was an idea whose time has come,” Reith said. Team Rocket, which consists of pilots Ken Fowler and Eric Hansen flying planes spouting pyrotechnics into the dark night sky, attracted plenty of attention earlier
this summer when they gave Vancouver residents a preview of their acrobatic show. Buchanan’s night show also leans heavily on pyrotechnics and fireworks as he pilots his motorized hang glider into the night sky. Also that night, the CF-18 Hornet will team with AV8FX for a demonstration and simulated bombing run over the airport.

2014 AMATEUR PHOTOGAPHER OF THE YEAR
Rod Jones of Abbotsford stands proudly as last years winner of the Black Press / London Drugs contest “The Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year”.
Vincent Montefrio of Surrey won with the above entry in the category “Best Crowd Photo” in 2013.
Rod Jones of Abbotsford was named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year in 2013 He won the prestigious title as part of the Your Best Shot contest, presented by Black Press, London Drugs and the Abbotsford International Airshow. The contest generated just under 2,000 entries, from which 60 finalists were selected, representing 35 B.C. communities, from North Vancouver to Vernon. The finalists were provided VIP tickets to the annual airshow and asked to submit photos in three categories, best air photo, best static photo and best crowd shot. In addition, the public had the opportunity to vote for their favourite for the people’s choice award.
Jones said he was shocked when he found out he had won. “It absolutely just blew me away it was like wow,” he said. He knew there was some stiff competition for the title. “I looked at everything and thought wow, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to judge all that stuff because there was so much good stuff,” he said. Jones first started dabbling in photography in 2005. His wife was a volunteer at the radical raptors show at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. He

Canada was still a young country when the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was created 90 years ago after a reorganization of the nation’s military. While the prefix “Royal” was adopted, the air force didn’t become a purely military organization until 1936. Prior to then, it had been responsible for a variety of civil duties in the air, from patrolling the border to helping with law enforcement.

LIFE
On Aug. 19, 1942, the RCAF found themselves committed to the Dieppe Raid. On that day, 60 RCAF fighter aircraft could be spotted above the shore of Dieppe, supporting Operation Jubilee. The RCAF suffered five casualties as a result of the Dieppe Raid. This operation showed major deficiencies in RCAF ground support techniques, which led to the creation of a fully integrated air force
The RCAF also took part in transportation duties in the Korean War. The unification of Canada’s naval, ground and air forces saw the RCAF integrated into the Canadian Forces, with air force segment known as Air Command. In 2011, Air Command was renamed the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Rare “Wooden Wonder” to make public debut Aircraft is one of only two flyable de Havilland Mosquitoes One of the most buzzed-about performers at this year’s Abbotsford International Airshow will be the public debut of one of only two flyable de Havilland DH.98 Mosquitoes in the world.
The Mosquito has been modelled after, and painted to resemble, the F For Freddy, a legendary plane that survived a record 213 operations over Europe during the war. It crashed just days after war ended in Europe while its two-person crew was performing low-altitude flybys in Calgary to celebrate the end of hostilities.
JET SCHOOLBUS PERFORMANCE
SAT/SUN @ NOON
Known as the “Wooden Wonder” – crews also called it “Mossie” – the Mosquito was built for the Second World War and constructed almost entirely out of wood.
The rebuilt plane will make its first public appearance in Abbotsford and will be piloted by renowned test pilot Steve Hinton, who is also president of Planes of Fame Air Museum in California.
“When strategic materials like metal were running short at the end of the war, they started constructing these aircraft out of plywood,” said airshow president Jim Reith. “It turned out to be a phenomenal airplane, performance-wise, because it was light and very versatile.”
“In the aviation world, especially in the warbird community, Steve Hinton is about a big as name as it gets,” said the airshow’s Mike Luedey.
The plane could fly exceptionally high and was used in a range of roles – as a fighter, a pathfinder, and a bomber.
“Because they were made of wood, almost none of them survived,” Reith said.

and dedication inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the Canadian Forces.
The Snowbirds demonstration team is a Canadian icon comprised of serving members of the Canadian Forces. Their pilots and technicians work as a team to bring thrilling performances to crowds across North America.
This year’s theme is To The Stars - Fuelled by Legacy and recognizes the RCAF’s 90th anniversary.
Serving as Canadian ambassadors, the Snowbirds demonstrate the high level of professionalism, teamwork, excellence, discipline
Since its inception in 1924, the RCAF has played a leading role on the world stage as a multi-purpose, combat-capable force that fulfills a variety of domestic and international commitments. Since the Second World War, during which time it grew to be the
SNOWBIRDS PERFORMANCE
FRIDAY @ 6:00PM SAT/SUN @ 3:30PM
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are a perennial favourite at the Abbotsford International Airshow and will be flying all three days.
Today’s Snowbirds are carrying on the tradition of excellence established by the aerobatic teams of the RCAF’s earliest days. Teams such as the Siskins, flying Siskin IIA biplanes as a three-ship formation between 1929 and 1932, the Golden Hawks, flying their seven gold-painted F-86 Sabre jets from 1959 until 1963, and The Golden Centennaires, flying their nine Canadian-built CT-114 Tutor aircraft.
fourth-largest air force in the world, the RCAF has proved to be a leader in aviation as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and as an active partner of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) for the continental air defence of North America. The Snowbirds – from the pilots to the technicians and support staff – are from all types of squadrons across Canada and represent a diverse range of the RCAF’s aviation capabilities.
The Snowbirds aerobatic team was formed in 1971 and received squadron status as 431
(Air Demonstration) Squadron in 1978. The team pilots, also flying the Tutors that are now painted in the iconic red and white colour scheme, carry on the tradition of these great aviators. The Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration Squadron) consist of approximately 80 Canadian Forces personnel, 24 of whom comprise the show team that travels during the show season. On average they will fly approximately 70 air shows at 50 different locations across North America each year.
