Close-up of an "Abbotsford Rotary Club" refreshment cart at the Abbotsford International Airshow, held at Abbotsford Airport on the weekend of August 11-13, 1978. Although the airshow was an overall success, attendance decreased from 142,700 to 130,000 spectators compared to the previous year. Rainy weather on Friday slowed attendance, but increased after the weather improved on Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, as Abbotsford Airshow Treasurer Henry Friesen explained to the Abbotsford, Sumas and Matsqui News, there was an increase in revenue compared to previous years. Among the performers at the Airshow were the Canadian Reds, the Canadian Armed Forces’ Snowbirds, the US Navy Blue Angels and a Navy F-14 Tomcat. |
