Here are some additional photos from the 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow. The static displays and the Snowbirds each have a separate photo gallery. Above – the FA-18 Super Hornet with after-burners on. Almost at the speed of sound it leaves vapor trails in its wake.

Seeing the airshow in the evening wa a new experience for us and a very enjoyable one. The after dark performances were worth seeing.
