I'm almost certain I remember seeing the SR-71 do a flying display there. Can anyone confirm that?

Edit: I'm looking at their history page and it may have been the B-1B Lancer that I was thinking of.

I never saw it at Abbotsford, but I got to see one fly in Vegas. Also the B2 and F-117. Got up close to all three, pretty cool. always had a soft spot for the Blackbird.

At that same show in Vegas we had 6 aerobatic teams, the Blues, Thunderbirds and Snowbirds, plus Chilean, Japanese, and I think Mexico.

I also met John Glenn. That was one of the best shows I ever went to.
