Pitt Meadows and Boundary Bay having an air show on the same day? Seems like a pretty stupid idea if you ask me.

Nelson is an *AMAZING* venue for an airshow. I'm not sure what's on tap this year. Bring your boat.

Wow. I just checked out this page

This is going to be a hell of an event!!!!

Abbotsford is always great! Although a little less so since all the US cutbacks. Not sure if that's back to normal this year?

The information about YPK is incorrect - the air show is on July 20: http://northfraserairshow.ca/

To add to the airshow list:

2014 Vanderhoof Int. Airshow
Saturday, August 9th
Vanderhoof BC (CAU4)

I have no involvement. Only heard about it because a guy was touting it to me last time I stopped there to refuel...

According to the Nanaimo Flying Club's newsletter, July 20th is the Gillies Bay fly-in on Texada Island too.

BTW - has anyone flown to that before? I wonder how they can fit 70 planes (their report about the number of attendants last year) on that field? I've never been but would like to go.
