Below are some pictures of the various aircraft from the United States Air Force and Air National Guard at Abbotsford in 2000. F-15 Eagle pictures are on a separate page; follow the link below or the link from the main page. Click on the pictures below for a larger image.

The USAF A-10 demo team from Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona retiurned to Abbotsford in 2000. There were two aircraft, the demo aircraft (79-0210) and the support aircraft (79-0174). Although unscheduled, the A-10 joined up with a P-51 Mustang to perform the Heritage Flight demonstration. The Heritage Flight was flown on Sunday only and was quite a surprise to me as it was totally unexpected. The P-51 flew in for the flybys and left immediately afterwards.

Two F-16C Fighting Falcons from Tucson, Arizona were on static display. On Monday they joined up with a KC-10 for a flyby over the airport.

KC-10A Extender (86-0032) from Travis AFB, California

B-1B Lancer (85-0081) from McConnell AFB, Kansas. This B-1 carried "Aftershock" art on the fuselage. On Monday, the B-1 flew over the airport with wings swept back and the vapour was incredible. Unfortunately, it was quite far away so the picture is somewhat distant.

This was the first appearance of a C-17 Globemaster at Abbotsford. This aircraft (99-0063), from McChord AFB, was nearly brand new; it had less than 80 hours of active duty when it came to Abbotsford.

As always, the C-5 Galaxy (68-0222) at Abbotsford was from Westover ARB, Massachusetts.

T-1A Jayhawk (91-0101) from Randolph AFB, Texas

C-130E Hercules (87-9287) from General Mitchell Field, Wisconsin

C-21A (87-9287) from Peterson AFB, Colorado
