The Abbotsford International Airshow began last night (Friday) and continues throughout the weekend at Abbotsford Airport.
This year’s show is themed Heroes of the Sky.

There will also be dozens of static displays and a kids’ zone with inflatable toys, a bouncy castle, a climbing wall and aerospace presentations from Science World.
Among the aircraft on display throughout the show is the Lockheed Martin F-35A joint strike fighter aircraft, making its Canadian debut.
