Airshows

After a noticeable absence from the airshow scene due to Covid restrictions, Wings Over Springbank returned to Alberta on July 23 and 24 to thrill aviation enthusiasts from Calgary and surrounding areas.

Held from August 5 to 7, the 60th Anniversary edition of the Abbotsford International Airshow had a stunning array of flying and static aircraft in its lineup.

As a result of the accident involving a 431 (Air Demonstration) Squadron CT-114 Tutor aircraft on August 2, 2022 in Fort St. John, B.C. the Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division has ordered an operational pause on the CT-114 fleet.

“The silver lining is that the team has been cleared to fly, but now must return to home base in Moose Jaw in order to prepare for future airshows.”

What can visitors expect at this year’s edition of AirVenture? Here are a few elements unique to AirVenture 2022.

Aero Gatineau-Ottawa was back for its 4th edition from September 10 to 12, 2021, at Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (CYND), after having been cancelled in 2020 due to the global pandemic.

A show presented during a period of sanitary restrictions for COVID 19 reaches an audience beyond all expectations.

On June 26, as it has done every two years since 1953, the 3rd Wing of Royal Canadian Air Force CFB Bagotville in Quebec presented its 2021 edition of the SAIB (Bagotville International Air Show), the largest Canadian military air show.

After recently completing a milestone North Atlantic crossing from Europe to North America, the DA50 RG has been debuted at the EAA AirVenture in Wisconsin.

After much speculation, and quite a few leaks on social media, Russia has finally unveiled its answer to the West's F-35: the Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate.

Despite rainy weather, tens of thousands of enthusiasts attended this year’s spectacular airshow held in Abbotsford, bc.

Although not quite as famous as the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI, the world’s second largest aviation expo is certainly worth attending.
