Jets? Ha!

The Vancouver Canucks have their farm team in the city that used to have the NHL Jets, and now might potentially have a farm team in their backyard called the Jets but affiliated with their rival. Bizarre!

I'm personnally not a fan of any of those names, but would pick Aviators from the lot. I'm sure it will be a winner logo with a plane on fire.

Honestly, wouldn't the coolest name be something along the line of 'Firebombers'? Keep the aeronautical theme, link it in with the Flames, and recognise all the brave firefighters who battle those BC forest fires each summer.

Someone has probably pointed this out, but Abbotsford is David van der Gulik's hometown.
