The 2022 Abbotsford Airshow is scheduled to be held Friday, August 5th, through Sunday, August 7th. The annual event typically results in a variety of military, historical and sport aircraft flying over the north Whatcom County area as they fly in and out of the Abbotsford International Airport.
It’s not unusual to hear and see military and high-performance aircraft from around the world overhead during the airshow as pilots practice and perform. Organizers have posted a flying schedule for this year’s event.
An aerial drone light show (link to YouTube video) scheduled for 9:20pm on Friday, followed by fireworks at 9:30pm may also be visible from some northern Whatcom County locations.
The airshow should be pretty impressive this year. Just be vigilant and keep your head on a swivel. If you see aircraft flying overhead with Chinese markings, they may not be part of the airshow festivities. ;-P
