CFB Comox organised an airshow this year celebrating the 100th anniversary of the RCAF. After a nine year hiatus since the last Comox Airshow, it was great to see some flying displays over Comox once again.
Arrivals on the Friday before the show included a rare EP-3E Aries II, possibly the last appearance in Canada for the aircraft before retirement, the first ever airshow appearance of a CC-330 Husky, a KC-135R and lots more.... including some demo practices from the C-130, CH-149, CC-138 and CF-18!
Huge thanks to Nick Gifford for providing the thumbnail photo!

Thankyou for that video. Don't forget to watch, "Wings of Honour", 100th anniversary tribute to the RCAF. Thanks to my uncle George, RCAF pilot Korea. I can tell you the young men and women of Canada are lining up to become our next generation of RCAF pilots.

This was great, brought back many memories as I was the Public Affairs officer at Comox in the early 90’s. Doing joint exercises with the US and hosting the Snow birds during their spring training were among the highlights. Thanks for the the post.

Really nice arrival shots, it looks like a lot of nice visitors for the airshow in Comox this year! Great sound from the F-18 blasting off as well and that smoking Orion approach was awesome as well. Nice footage!

I was truly lucky to see Abottsford International in '88. The great Concorde, the original Harrier jump jet, the Avro Vulcan bomber, & the Cossak 225 on display, early F-18's, F-15, F-16 !! Airshows are awsome !

@robjohnson5872 Ай бұрын

Great that you posted the ages of the aircraft. It shows the quality of the people that maintain them to keep them in top condition for so long. Sadly, it also shows the appalling amount of time it takes our Government(s) to actually make Military procurement decisions. I really enjoyed your video. Great to see some of these fine aircraft.

@nybotor1 Ай бұрын

Thanks! Yes, I was surprised myself at some of the aircraft ages... I couldn't even find info on one of the C-130s but it must be at least 45 years old!

Great video! Always warms my heart to see any P-3 variant still operational these days. Bonus points for the Snowbirds clips! Cheers from the USA

On the way-back machine: - when a "killick" in the RCN with some leave due, I caught a "flip" out of Comox on a Grumman Tracker. After a safety briefing, being admonished to relieve myself pre-flight, given a box lunch, rear facing seat, and over the Rockies we went. Noisy, cramped little sucker that afterward garnered the utmost of respect from me for anyone flying hours upon hours of anti-sub patrol missions in one of those things.

The Boeing Stratotanker I assume is based on the old 707 platform. Can anyone confirm that? I think it is a beautiful airplane

@nybotor1 17 күн бұрын

Yes, it's based on The Boeing Dash 80, which is essentially the early development of the 707.

Did the Snowbirds perform with 9 planes?

@nybotor1 Ай бұрын

They practiced with 8 and then performed with just 7 during the show on Saturday. I believe one of the pilots has had a broken hand, and one jet on Saturday had mechanical issues.

Wot was the first plane, the US Navy four turboprop one?

@chrisholm8030 Ай бұрын

An EP-3E from VQ-1 stationed at NAS WHIDBEY. It collects electronic intelligence. I flew with their sister squadron (VQ-2) in Rota Spain in the late 1970's. VQ-1 used to be stationed in Guam.
