note: ATAIRSHOW Biggest and fastest By ANDREW HANON This week's question: "What do you think of B.C.'s new premier, BUI VanderZalm?" MATSQUI - This coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday aviators will once again take to "the wild blue yonder" in aircraft of all sizes and shapes as the Abbotsford Liter- national Airshow celebrates its silver anniversary with a sonic boom. Airshow has become the largest of its kind in North America and as usual will feature the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the Canadian Forces Snowbird precision flying teams. Armchair aviators and other spectators at the three-day event will also marvel at the display by the world's fastest airplane, The SR-71. The biggest will be represented by the Russian Antonov AN-124 plane. Teams from the French, Italian ,and Brazilian air forces will also be showing their stuff. And NASA will be bringing in one of their research aircraft, a turbo STOL (short take off and landing) jet. Admission to the airshow at the Abbotsford international airport located just five miles southeast of Aldergrove is $25 per carload (regardless of the number of passengers), $8 for passengers arriving by bus, and $4 for children between six and 15. Gates open at 6 a.m. with displays open between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and the actual flying performances from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day of the show.
