Organizers of the Abbotsford air show (August 9, 10, 11 at Abbotsford,
British Columbia, Canada) have announced that the Soviets have agreed to
display the MiG-31 at the show. This is stated to be the first appearance of
this aircraft in North America. The show will also feature the AN-225, which
is the world's largest aircraft (built for carrying the Soviet shuttle and for
booster parts). To top it off, the Stealth aircraft used with effect in the
Gulf war will be displayed by the U.S.
The air show is being held in conjunction with Airshow Canada, a trade
show which takes place from August 7 to 11. Abbotsford is approximately a 1
hour drive east of Vancouver, British Columbia. It looks like a good show!
