Pellet gun attacks ‘a crime of stupidity’ Nine injured in more than a dozen random shootings Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

Gail Evans made eye contact with the driver. Then he raised what appeared to be a handgun and shot her. Three times he pulled the trigger, striking Evans once. Her knees buckled, and he sped off down Whatcom Road. Evans had just become one of at least nine people struck in more than a dozen pellet gun attacks across Abbotsford since July 18. So far the injuries have been limited to painful welts – in Evans’ case several inches below her collarbone. But police say that’s just luck at this point. “It’s fortunate that no one at this point has been struck in the face,” said Const. Ian MacDonald, who noted the incidents are being investigated as assaults with a weapon. Evans was shot as she and her husband walked south on Whatcom near the intersection of Sandringham Drive around 8 p.m. Sunday evening. The shooter was in a dark-coloured vehicle, also driving south, and had just passed her. She glanced to her right and saw the young male driver – who appeared to have dark hair – raise his gun.

COUNCIL BRIEF Next Council Meeting: September 14, 2015 View Live Council meetings online at www.abbotsford.ca/livecouncil

Homeless trial nears end Final arguments set to begin Friday Final arguments in the Supreme Court trial to determine whether several Abbotsford bylaws infringe the constitutional rights of the city’s homeless will begin Friday. Lawyers affiliated with Pivot Legal Society are suing the city on behalf of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors (DWS), a group of homeless activists who say Abbotsford’s bylaws are unconstitutional. They allege that a combination of the city’s bylaws – which prohibit unauthorized camping in city parks – and a lack of housing options put homeless people at risk and infringe on their right to security of person. The city contends that it’s been doing its best to help the homeless while keeping parks safe for other users. The city’s lawyers also have said the bylaw being challenged allows people to apply to camp in parks, but that the plaintiffs have never done so. Chief Ju s t i c e Christopher Hinkson has been hearing evidence – first from the plaintiffs, then from the City of Abbotsford – since late June. Final arguments are expected to stretch into next week, with the trial set to wrap next Thursday.

A mail theft last week that resulted in the theft of thousands of dollars raises questions about claims by Canada Post that it works closely with police. Last Wednesday, a Marshall Road area resident discovered her community mailbox, at Panorama Drive and Everett Road, had been broken into. Her husband soon learned that thieves had made off with both a business client card, and its pin code that was sent around the same time. They then used the card to make a false deposit, transferred the money that was presumed to be in the account to another, and then made at least $15,000 in withdrawals. The husband’s bank is on the hook for the money, but his wife told The News that the couple is now left wondering what else was stolen. In particular, the couple never received their child care benefit cheque, sent in the mail last week. But while Canada Post insists it works closely with police to solve mail break-ins, when The News contacted the Abbotsford Police to inquire about the case, Const. Ian MacDonald said the first time police were made aware of the incident was on July 24 when the woman’s husband contacted police, more than two days after the woman discovered the break-in and visited her local post office to tell them about the incident. So far no suspect has been identified, MacDonald said. Anick Losier, a spokesperson for Canada Post, told The News via email that the organization works “closely with police and authorities to find those at the source,” and that it is “committed to do everything possible to support the police in their efforts to do so.” Losier wrote: “When there is a confirmed security incident, our processes require notification to police and in addition our postal inspectors work closely with local police agencies to deploy investigative strategies, including information sharing when specific

Dozens of mailboxes were broken into at a community mailbox hub at the intersection of Old Yale and McMillan roads last week. trends are noted.” Losier did not answer a question as to whether the incident at Panorama and Everett had ever been reported to police. MacDonald contrasted the help Abbotsford police receives from Canada Post with that from ICBC regarding vehicle incidents. “We are in contact with ICBC daily. Their special investigation unit officers are talking to our officers; our two record sections are talking all the time. We’re really working hand-in-hand, and that’s not going on to the same extent with Canada Post.”

incidents reported – is a crucial step. How can we investigate those incidents if we don’t know they took place?” Canada Post continues to refuse to tell The News how many mail theft incidents have been reported in Abbotsford in recent weeks. TTT Police have at least one lead in the recent spate of postal box break-ins, but also a worrying observation about the safety of community mailboxes. Last Sunday, a woman was sitting on her computer in her Goodchild Road home when she heard a large diesel truck

Residents spotted this suspect vehicle and passenger in a Sandy Hillarea community mailbox theft last Sunday morning. Police have a person of interest in the case. Submitted MacDonald said the lack of information underscores the need for residents who notice something amiss to contact police. “In policing, knowing about the incidents – having those

idling nearby. When she went to the window, she saw a man rifling through mail from the community box four doors down the street. The man took off in the truck – which was driven by another

person – after the woman’s husband left their house and yelled “Hey!” But police were able to get a description of a black Dodge pickup truck and a licence plate Const. Ian MacDonald said they have a person of interest, although neither he nor the truck has been located. The woman told The News that the man had removed the entire face of two panels of the three-panel box, and seemed to enter the box remarkably fast. MacDonald confirmed that, and said there was little damage done to the box. That could mean that the thieves “have stolen postal keys or … created their own makeshift key,” MacDonald said. That could help explain the rash of other reported thefts. The fact that no damage had been detected also creates the possibility that thieves with such keys could also be stealing some mail undetected, although in many recent cases, mail box units have had the doors torn off or locks punched out. TTT Losier said Canada Post has improved the time it takes to repair or replace community mailboxes, with the average time now under two weeks. However, a local resident was told by Canada Post last week that she and her neighbours would have to pick up their mail from a central station for five to six weeks until the damaged mailbox in her area was repaired or replaced. When a site is not in service, mail is held at Abbotsford’s Marshall Road depot for pick up. That depot is open from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. If it’s not picked up, it will be delivered when a mailbox is replaced or repaired. Losier did not answer repeated questions from The News in regard to the number of new, more secure mailboxes that have replaced the more vulnerable older-style boxes. Abbotsford MP Ed Fast was unavailable for comment, with a staff member citing ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership talks in Hawaii.

Animal lover and volunteer passes

Bringing BC’s Communities together.

Maggie Calloway well-known for her community work

Kevin MILLS Mission Record

Abbotsford and Mission lost a community volunteer and animal lover as Maggie Calloway passed away on July 6, 2015. A former winner of the Mission Woman of the Year Award, Calloway moved to Mission in 1986 and lived on two acres with her beloved animal clan. Her great passion was caring and fundraising for animals in distress, it was her all-consuming commitment. Among the many charities that she worked for were SAINTS, Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center, Burnaby Wildlife Center and numerous others. Calloway was also a board member and later, chair, of the Citizens Advisory Committee at Ferndale Minimum Security Institution. She also acted as an escort for Ferndale inmates on personal outside passes. Later, she established a highly successful animal shelter program in Ferndale run by the inmates themselves. A founding member of the Fraser Valley Humane Society, Calloway volunteered as the society’s president, and helped raise

Maggie Calloway was well-known in the Mission and Abbotsford area as a committed protector of animals and a community volunteer. $60,000 for an ongoing spay and neuter program through liaison with local government.

“For many years Maggie had been the driving force behind many successful campaigns and programs,” said Celia Durst, executive director of the Fraser Valley Humane Society. “She also worked tirelessly with council to have a cat spay/neuter and identification policy brought in which is now a local bylaw. For the last few years she has worked more in the background but was always a very generous and loyal supporter who was always just at the end of a phone if I needed anything. She will be dearly missed,” added Durst. Calloway had been a reporter, producer, talk show host and columnist. She wrote regular newspaper columns for Black Press – including The Abbotsford News – called Simplicity and RenoNation. A celebration of life will be held on Aug. 16, between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Mission Seniors Activity Center, 33100 10th Avenue (at Talbut), Mission. Donations can be sent to the Fraser Valley Humane Society, 33103 N. Railway Ave., Mission, B.C. V2V 1E3.

‘What did he just shoot me with?’ From A1

“You’re in shock when you see this happen,” she said. “Then you hear the noise and feel something. ‘What did he just shoot me with?’ was the first instinct. It’s not a nice feeling.’” The attacks have taken place across the city with a cluster of assaults in the Clearbrook area, but other incidents have been reported as far east as Sumas Mountain and as far west as Mt. Lehman Road. The targets seem completely random, MacDonald said. “We’re getting different ages of people, different ethnicities of people,” he said. “It’s a crime of stupidity, but it’s a crime of opportunity, too.” Property has also been targeted, with car and house windows shattered. A dark-coloured sedan has been described in all the incidents where a suspect

Pellet gun attacks have taken place across the city, with several clustered in west Abbotsford. vehicle was spotted, either by surveillance cameras or by victims. Police believe the assailant is a man between the ages of 18 and 25 years old. All the incidents have taken place between 3 p.m. and midnight. MacDonald said there are also likely many incidents that have not been reported, because

the shooter(s) have missed their targets, or because the people hit were struck in the clothing and not aware of the shooting. “We’re probably looking at double that number,” MacDonald said of the attacks that officially number 15. MacDonald said that while a similar sedan has been spotted in

many incidents, he cannot say for sure whether the same suspect is responsible for every shooting. He said some witnesses have reported a single male driver, while others say they saw two people in the vehicle. Police rarely see more than a handful of pellet or paintball incidents over an en-

tire summer, he said. As police consider if more than one person is responsible for the attacks, they have also floated the theory that a game or competition is being played, although there is no evidence yet to support that notion. Police can’t say exactly what the weapon is, but in those cases where the gun was spotted, it appeared to be a handgun, which adds to the terror, MacDonald said. Evans is still feeling the effects. Her welt is fading, but the experience of being shot is still vivid. “I noticed last night when I was walking around the neighbourhood, a car slowed down behind me and my first reaction was to turn and kind of duck.” Anyone with information is urged to contact police at 604859-5225, or by text at 222973 (abbypd), or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477

Be sure to check out the native Indian stone bowls and pestles, many of them found on John’s farmland which ties them to the local Sto:lo First Nations who have peopled the Sumas area for millennia. In this age of minimalism, many of the antiques no longer appeal to the younger generation. However, for anyone who wants to go back in time, or perhaps pick up some lawn art, Granny and Grumpa’s Antiques is a must visit. You won’t be disappointed, and I guarantee you will be amazed at what is there.

Future source of liquid gold This summer’s dead lawns may cause people to wonder whether a new water source is required. Even hard-core opponents of the Stave Lake proposal agreed that further sources of liquid gold would likely be part of our future. It was the P3 aspect that concerned many. At the height of that issue, Kevin Mills’ clear reporting spelled out the difference between the private rate of borrowing (as required by the proposal) compared to the public rate – 7.23 per cent vs. 4.23 per cent (later in the controversy both rates dropped, but the three per cent difference remained). This was the real spanner in the works. Private interests would, of course, design and build such a large project. And perhaps there is some merit to having a private company manage and maintain the finished project. But a three per cent difference in borrowing

Focus on cyclists and drivers

costs makes no sense whatsoever. If we do go forward on a major water project, how about a bond issue that is open to the general public? I realize that a management component would be required in such a situation, but Fraser Health and UFV have private companies managing their pay parking, and the same goes for TransLink’s tolling of the Golden Ears Bridge, as well as for the Port Mann, a provincial responsibility. We have evidence in the form of the RCMP building in Surrey that P3s can be very expensive when it comes to private borrowing. (That project did go forward with a three per cent top-up for private borrowing, a federal decision that I hope gets raised during this fall’s election.) Financing future sources of water will be expensive enough, even without offering select private investors a premium. Regina Dalton Abbotsford

The story with the policing highfiving folks for using a crosswalk was a joke. What a wonderful photo op, but not much more. Where are the police when I as a pedestrian am run down by cyclists on the sidewalk and by cars in crosswalks? Where is the enforcement? Why

don’t all cyclists wear helmets? Isn’t it the law? Do not tell me there is enforcement, as I’ve never seen it, and I am a frequent walker. The police shouldn’t be focusing on pedestrians, but the cyclists and drivers threatening them. Ken Ambrose

The hot dry spring and summer has helped swat down most of the Lower Mainland’s mosquitoes by denying them their usual prime breeding sites. SFU mosquito biologist Carl Lowenberger said the drought has translated into a nice reprieve from the pests in most areas. “As a result of the dry spell, we have fewer pots of standing water, therefore nowhere to lay eggs, which equals reduced populations,” he said. Some mosquito species lay eggs on land that must get flooded the next spring to hatch – usually from snowmelt or rivers overflowing their banks. Because of the drought, this year’s low snowpack and the lack of flooding of lowlands by the Fraser, those species are “doing nothing” this year, Lowenberger said. But the eggs can survive a couple of years, so those mosquitoes could still emerge next year if conditions are wetter.

Snoring? Sleep apnea? Trouble falling asleep? University of Toronto professor states that 69% of adults have sleeping problems. Bad sleep reduces physical and creative energy all next day. Almost all families are affected. Sleep apnea may cause high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and irregular heart beats. Can be very destructive in relationships. Hundreds of true testimonials on the Bell website from people like you. Real people wrote: I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, #23 NPN 80027595 Hudson, NH. Sleep apnea capsules worked first night. For 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS. For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS. It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine anymore. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Thyroid Support People have asked Dr. Chakib Hammoud Ph.D. for a natural medicine for the thyroid. Many could not get relief with what they were taking. Bell Thyroid #87 helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats more effectively. Helps in your fitness and diet goals. Here are some typical comments. Energy and endurance have gone up in a big way. After I have been on Thyroid Support #78 for 6 months my weight has come down. My appetite decreased so I can control my eating habits. I was a bit leery at first. I thank you for your help. Ingrid Monanari, 67, Edmonton, AB Bell Thyroid Support was recommended by friends. I was prescribed medication for many years without getting relief. After using one bottle Bell Thyroid Support, my latest blood test showed my thyroid is now #78 NPN 80051027 normal. I believe your product really helps. Elsie Kauppinen, 85, Atlantis, FL

A crackdown by the province has led to 29 Lower Mainland pharmacies closing or exiting the government-funded PharmaCare program after being red-flagged for various improprieties. The health ministry had notified 46 pharmacies in May that they’d be booted from PharmaCare if they failed to swiftly explain why they should be able to continue billing the publicly funded drug plan. Most of those pharmacies have since terminated their PharmaCare enrolment or been removed, including 12 in Vancouver,

seven in Surrey, four in Burnaby, two each in Richmond and North Vancouver, and one each in Maple Ridge and New Westminster. A few had previously been terminated last December. None were in Abbotsford. Medicine bought at now-excluded pharmacies that remain open is no longer covered by PharmaCare. Another dozen pharmacies run by two chains can continue to submit claims but are subject to special conditions. The health ministry has not released specific reasons why each of the pharmacies involved was targeted. Many were dispensing methadone and

may have engaged in improper business practices, such as kickbacks to retain drugaddicted patients. Billing irregularities were a concern in other cases, including improper filing of drug information for patients into the province’s prescription-tracking network, potentially risking their health. In other cases, false information had been provided by operators on their enrolment applications. A recent regulation change allows the government to refuse to pay pharmacies with a history of suspect practices and imposes greater disclosure requirements.

Targeted pharmacies cut off PharmaCare Dozens had been red-flagged for violations Methadone is now PharmaCare’s secondhighest drug cost at $44 million a year for more than 15,000 addicts. The College of Pharmacists of B.C. is planning undercover investigations over the next three years to target methadone-dispensing pharmacies that are a continuing source of concern. The college’s draft enforcement plan says it will target the top 20 methadonedispensing pharmacies, as well as ones that operate in inappropriate premises. It cites allegations of coercion – cash or housing being offered to retain or attract methadone patients and withholding of doses if patients fail to remain loyal.

$19,000 raised for the Warm Zone Nearly two hundred people gathered at Mt. Lehman Winery on July 23 for an evening of wine, food, music and spending to support street engaged women in Abbotsford. The third Connecting Community, Supporting Women event drew people from all over the community to raise funds for the Warm Zone. Several dignitaries were in attendance including the Mayor and Couns. Patricia Ross and Les Barkman. Mayor Henry Braun lauded the Women’s Resource Society for the important work they do with women in the community. The most powerful speeches came from the women themselves who spoke emotionally about the support they receive through the Warm Zone.

Erica Thompson spoke about her own transformation from the street to her current role as Hepatitis C outreach worker for the Warm Zone. “I am passionate about supporting women, whatever way that looks,” she said, adding that the Warm Zone is beginning a new Peer Support program in which women who are no longer street engaged support those who are seeking to come off the streets. Donations are still being tallied but together with the silent auction and gifts given by the end of the evening, the estimate is that the event raised more than $19,000. For more information about the Warm Zone and the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, visit wrsfv.ca.

WELCOME TO THE ABBOTSFORD AIRSHOW! When a world-class jet team announced plans to travel from Europe on their first North-American tour, organizers of the Abbotsford International Airshow (AIA) wanted to ensure one of the stops would be here. This year, the AIA moved its original date by a week to accommodate the Breitling Jet Team and in doing so, wound up on the same weekend as the World Baton Twirling Federation International Cup. Media director Jadene Mah is confident there will still be plenty of accommodations within reasonable driving or walking distance from the airport for out-of-town guests, including camping right at the airshow. “The campground is hugely popular with families that travel in from northern B.C.,” says Mah. “It gives families the option to conveniently enjoy all three days of the event.” The airshow campground is located at the end of the taxiway, allowing convenient access to the show, including shuttles around the site. Weekend camping includes three-day admission to the show (for up to six people) and is just $250 (plus GST and service charges). Portable water, showers and toilets are on-site and the Abbotsford Flying Club offers hot breakfast and dinner menus at The Broken Prop restaurant. “There is a lot to see and do – the airshow site is enormous, with interactive activities for all ages and the flying is awesome,” she says. “Many people take more than one day to try and see it all.”

abbotsfordairshow.com photo

ACES, WARRIORS & WINGMEN

The sky is the limit for this year’s Abbotsford International Airshow August 7, 8 and 9.

According to Mah, more than $1.5 million in resources goes directly into producing the Abbotsford International Airshow.

With three jet teams and three fighter jet demonstrations over three days, it’s no wonder that AIA president Jim Reith says it’s one of the best line-ups in 25 years.

The AIA Society contributes nearly $1 million in direct economic impact to the community, and another $2 million in economic spinoff to local businesses during the airshow timeframe. In contributions to numerous fundraisers, charities, service clubs, sports teams, daycares and youth groups, theairshow society provides support to the community of $65,000 in honoraria and in-kind donations.

The theme is “Aces, Warriors and Wingmen,” commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 1940, the first military confrontation won by air power and Germany’s first defeat in World War II.

Purchase tickets to the airshow before Aug.1 to save with advanced prices starting at $25 for adults and $12.50 for children 6 to 12. Children five and under are free. A carload pass starts at $80, which includes parking and up to six adults in one vehicle. At the gate or after Aug. 1, ticket prices increase. Tickets and camping passes are available online at abbotsfordairshow.com and starting July 1, at any Lower Mainland Save-On-Foods location.

The world-renowned Breitling Jet Team from France is making its first North American appearance with seven Czech Aero L-39 C Albatros jets. They will perform daring aerial stunts at speeds up to 565 mph within 10 feet of each another.

The Horsemen Flight Team will fly their F-86 Saber fighter jets in formation, and the iconic Canadian Forces Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration Squadron) are back with new choreography to celebrate 45 years of flight. The CF-18 Hornet and the United States Air Force’s newest aircraft, the F-22 Raptor, will rip across the sky. “The US Navy is also sending a Super-Hornet, which is a larger, more advanced version of the CF-18 Hornet that Canada has,” says Reith. “It’s a pretty impressive airplane and they look similar until you see them side by side and notice the size difference.” A commemorative RCAF demo Hornet will wear a tribute paint scheme showcasing the WW2

JIM REITH, President Abbotsford Airshow Hurricanes and Spitfires, heavily used fighter aircraft in the Battle of Britain. The Historic Flight Foundation’s B-25 Mitchell bomber will be on display, among many other jets and planes coming in locally and from the United States for the celebration. CONTINUED ON PAGE B19

Airplanes with teeth

“Nose art” is a decorative painting or design on the front fuselage of an aircraft, and is a form of aircraft graffiti. In early years of military aviation, the military never officially sanctioned nose art, but unofficially approved it as a morale-booster through individual expression. Wander the static aircraft display and see if you can find some airplanes with teeth. Su Wolfe photo

Call signs

“Taboo”, “Oreo”, “Cheapo”, “Rihanna”, “Paco” and “Cheech” Call signs are a tradition in military aviation and are nicknames that are usually assigned by fellow pilots. How do you get a call sign? Call signs are usually the result of something silly that a pilot has done, the result of a prank or have it fit with their last name. Vickie Legere photo

Autographs Intrigued about who these “Taboo”, “Oreo”, “Cheapo”, “Rihanna”, “Paco” and “Cheech” characters are? You can meet them in person, find out what their “real” names are, learn about the aircraft they fly and get their signatures at the Air Canada Autograph Booth. Nelson Sison photo

Dan Buchanan will once again bring his mesmerizing hang glider routine

“He is a paraplegic and gets towed to altitude and released,” says Reith. “When he lands we bring him his wheelchair and he gets back in and goes to meet the crowd.” Bring your camera, wander to find something delicious from the various food trucks, enjoy a beverage in the President’s Club or the Flight Club, take the kids through the McDonald’s Kids Zone or

The evening begins at 6 p.m. with the Canadian Snowbirds, and then as the light fades and the CF-18 Hornet takes off, spectators will be able to see the afterburner trails in the sky. Manfred Radius will perform in an aerobatic sailplane to music, and a

number of performers will have mounted pyrotechnics on the wings of their aircraft. The celebration finishes at 9:45 p.m. with fireworks. The airshow is not just for aviation enthusiasts.

AIRSHOW PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

HONOURING ACES, WARRIORS AND WINGMEN This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain – waged just over three months from July 11 to Oct. 31, 1940 during the Second World War. With the theme “Aces, Warriors and Wingmen,” the Abbotsford International Airshow will pay tribute to the many brave airmen who fought for freedom. The Battle of Britain was the first military confrontation won by air power, and Germany’s first defeat in the war. It represents a significant milestone in Canada’s air force history. Approximately 103 Canadians flew in the Battle of Britain, mainly as members of No. 1 Fighter Squadron RCAF (later renamed 401 Fighter Squadron). However, the most widely-known pilots come from the Royal Air Force’s 242 “All Canadian” Squadron commanded by Douglas Bader, a double leg amputee who became a household name during WW2 as an exceptional pilot and leader. Among the pilots in the squadron was pilot officer William

A Hurricane and another one of the best-known fighter planes of

Both aircraft played a vital role in the Battle of Britain, as the Spitfires would intercept the German fighters so the Hurricanes could focus on the bombers. The RCAF demonstration jet, the CF-18 Hornet, will be carrying a tribute paint scheme to showcase the WW2 camouflage that the Spitfires and Hurricanes had in 1940. “A picture of McNab and McKnight are also painted on the tail of the tribute CF-18 Hornet,” says AIA president Jim Reith. “They’ll be serving up a histo-

ry lesson for people about the RCAF.” The Canadian Forces Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration) will also perform at the Abbotsford Airshow to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. “It’s part of what we do. We not only inspire people at the airshow, but it’s linking to our aviheritage, some of that’s mil milation heritage itary and some of it’s civilians,” said Reith on this year’s theme. “Canada has a terrific history of pilots and we want to keep all of that alive with the new generations.”

TWILIGHT SHOW With pyrotechnics streaming from jet wings, daring routines in the fading light and a demonstration by the Canadian Forces CF-18 Hornet at sunset, the Abbotsford Airshow’s Twilight Show on Friday, Aug. 7 is a unique nighttime experience not to be missed.

Paraplegic hang glider Dan Buchanan will also take to the sky with his all-fabric motorized hang glider, equipped with lights to make it glow during his performance. The Friday evening show offers a completely different experience than the daytime performances on Saturday and Sunday. “It’s a pretty unique atmosphere when you can take your family to an event in the dark and still enjoy cotton candy while watching an airshow,” says AIA president, Jim Reith.

Keeping it Simple®

For those spectators who think they’ve seen it all, Abbotsford International Airshow president Jim Reith, who was a member of the team when he was a pilot in the air force, assures that every show is different because they regularly introduce new choreography. The team undergoes six months of intensive training to master over 50 different nine-plane formations and manoeuvres. This year, the Snowbirds will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a significant milestone in Canada’s Air Force history. Approximately 103 Canadians flew in the battle, which marks the first military confrontation won by air power and Germany’s first defeat in the Second World War. The Snowbirds are consistently one of the most popular aviation spectacles at the airshow. This year they will join the Breitling Jet Team from France and the Horsemen Flight Team as the 2015 jet team performers.

IT’S A PILOTS LIFE FOR ME

Attendees at the Abbotsford Airshow will have a chance to see the best air-toair fighter aircraft in the world, flown by Major John “Taboo” Cummings. He pilots the United States Air Force’s newest fighter aircraft, the F-22 Raptor, in the demonstration flights. The aircraft is known for its unique combination of stealth, supercruise, superior maneuverability, and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, which represents an exponential leap in war-fighting capabilities.

Cummings was in Abbotsford on June 30 for a security check of the airport in preparation of the demonstration. The Raptor has attempted to head to Abbotsford in past years, but has met with obstacles, such as the U.S. sequestration of planes from airshows. But now, the plane is here to wow the crowds this summer. Airshows have long played a role in Cummings life. As a child, he thought he wanted to be a pilot. “I think growing up near an airshow cemented that,” he said, referring to the

event in Oshkosh, Wis. “Going there and seeing planes … It sowed the seed at an early age that this was what I wanted to do.” He had worked as an engineer for a few years in Seattle after finishing his schooling, and then joined the Air Force shortly after 9/11. Cummings went through air force pilot training and first flew the F-15 C fighter, transitioning to the Raptor in 2009 and has been “flying it ever since.” He is currently based in Langley, VA along with the demo team. But the plane for the show can come from any USAF base, and the one flown in Abbotsford will come down from Anchorage, Alaska. Used in warfare, the Raptor’s primary

mission is “air dominance,” said Cummings. It’s a stealth airplane and very difficult to detect on radar, “so that allows us the ability to operate in the first wave of any sort of conflict, to safely protect all the other coalition forces.” “We have a secondary mission of being able to employ air-to-ground ordnance, so we do have a limited air-to-ground role where we can drop bombs,” he said. He added that the jet is “primarily designed to be the best air-to-air fighter that there is in the world.”

As for the airshow performance, he said much of the job includes planning for the performances and leading the team. “The maneuvers that are part of the demo are actually pretty easy and anyone (pilot) could do it,” he said, but added that it takes a little bit of practice to get used to doing them closer to the ground. “The showmanship is what takes a little bit of practice.” Of the unique traits the aircraft possesses, airshow attendees will be able to see the aircraft’s superior maneuverability.

“We can do a flip, a loop, basically in one spot in the sky.” “There is a point in the air show where we will pull it straight up in the air, slow the airplane down to zero air speed and effectively, start falling backwards, and it’s totally controllable.” While his performance is sure to impress, Cummings is quick to downplay his role is making the show happen. “I’m just the one who flies the airplane,” he said, praising the rest of the team. “I get the airplane for 20 minutes a day, and they spend several hours making sure everything is good to go.” And as for his nickname Taboo: “If I told you, then it wouldn’t be taboo.”

LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Shirley Wilson graduated from Abbotsford Senior Secondary and was asked to be a part of the re-opening of the newly build school in 2013.

Every experience has a ripple effect Imagine we are all rocks; throw us into the water and we all make a ripple. These are the thoughts that come to Shirley Wilson’s mind when asked why she is passionate about the work she does, which includes charitable work around the community, particularly for the Rotary Club of Abbotsford. In all she does, Wilson is motivated by her desire to help create better conditions for those who have difficult life circumstance. She believes that life is about how you can make a difference and positively impact the lives of others, much like the ripple effect. Shirley Wilson is a four-time elected Board of Education Trustee and vicechair of the board of education. She was drawn to the education sector based on her own experiences as a child growing up on a northern B.C. farm. “I spent my first ten years in potential

poverty and living off the farm as the youngest of ten children,” she says. Wilson went on to graduate from Abbotsford Senior Secondary, and in 2013, had the privilege of opening the newly renovated Abbotsford Senior as a Trustee. However, she says nothing over the past ten years can possibly compare to presenting both of her children with their grade twelve diplomas as they crossed the stage. Wilson is also involved in the nonprofit sector, previously with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley

and the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. She was formerly the director of development at the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre. “I have met people and heard stories about personal success which cause me to sit back in wonder and awe at the tremendous life changing moments SHIRLEY WILSON for people in our community, and in our province,” she says. “I take seriously my role and responsibility to be both a voice and a participant in creating opportunities for others to grow and achieve.” Five years from now, Wilson will have completed her Bachelor of Arts,

I spent my first ten years in potential poverty . . .

Adult Education. She may still be in the charitable sector, but hopes to be using her professional fundraising experience as service in kind. She doesn’t know if she will be in politics or not. Thinking back to the little girl growing up on the farm, Wilson says she would tell her younger self to be more patient, loosen up a bit and prepare to be disappointed. “Mostly my advice would be to shut up and listen,” she says. “My father died twenty years ago. While I miss him as much today as I did when he first died, I used to tell him we didn’t need to talk politics and I certainly didn’t need to follow him around as he talked to this person or that one. How little did I know our conversations then would shape my world today.” Every rock makes a ripple.

Black Press 4 Good raises over $12,000 to recover Vimy Ridge heroes Norm Christie’s mission is getting some love, and some funding. The Ottawa-based war historian, who’s been campaigning for some time to locate the bodies of 44 reportedly missing Canadian Scottish troops from the First World War’s battle at Vimy Ridge, has racked up over $12,000 from 49 contributors on Black Press 4 Good. The 4 Good contest runs for 13 more days and has raised 5 per cent of its $110,000 goal, to-date.

That’s how much Christie thinks he’ll need to located the 44 soldiers, who he believes are still buried in a “potato field” in No Man’s Land, a spot called ‘CA40’ in France. They were thought to be moved to Nine Elms Military Cemetery after the war, but Christie doubts it. “There is no evidence of any of the men from CA40 there,” Christie wrote in the campaign’s summary. “Searching all the likely cemeteries in the Vimy region also revealed no evidence of the Scottish Ca-

(The cemetery’s website says there are 378 Canadians buried at Nine Elms.) The $110,000 would be used for an engineering

team and equipment, to document the process of recovering and re-burying the bodies, compensating local French farmers, and for safety and security costs, according to the 4 Good write-up. In April, after a speech on the matter to 200 people on his ‘Great War Tour’, Christie said the treatment of Canada’s heroes is critical to the country’s soul and culture. “One of the key aspects of history is the spiritual dimension,” he said. “How your treat your dead is very reflective of the spiritual state of your society. We should be honouring our dead because they are so much a part of our history.” To donate, go to blackpress4good.com/vimyridge.

LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Protecting your vision over the long haul According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eye diseases related to aging are the primary cause of vision impairment in the United States. Many people consider vision loss a natural side effect of aging, but there are ways men and women can protect their vision and reduce their risk of vision loss as they age. Q Quit smoking. According to the National Eye Institute, smoking doubles a person’s risk for age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in men and women over the age of 50. It causes damage to the macula, which is the part of the eye needed for sharp, central vision. If the macula is damaged, vision may be blurry, distorted or dark. f Q Protect eyes from ultraviolet light. The American Optometric Association y notes that UV-A and UV-B radiation can have adverse effects on a person’s vision. A short-term effect of excessive exposure to UV radiation is photokeratitis, a painful condition that can lead to red eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Long-term effects of such exposure include a higher risk of developing cataracts and damage to the retina, which is the part of the eye used for seeing. When spending time outdoors, always wear sunglasses

High blood pressure, often referred to as HBP or hypertension, can contribute to vision loss as a person ages. The American Heart Association notes that HBP can strain blood vessels in the eyes, causing them to narrow or bleed. HBP also can cause the optic nerve to swell, compromising a person’s vision as a result. Eye damage that results from HBP is cumulative, which means the longer it goes untreated, the more likely the damage to the eye will be permanent. Men and women can maintain a healthy blood pressure by eating right, exercising regularly and sustain-

ing a healthy weight. Q Take breaks from work. Computer vision syndrome, or CVS, is a legitimate condition that can develop when a person spends ample time staring at a computer screen. Adults and kids alike are susceptible to CVS, which can cause symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, eye irritation, and headaches. One way to reduce risk of developing CVS is to take frequent breaks from staring at the screen. A handful of 20-second breaks over the course of an hour can help prevent CVS. In addition, change lighting in the room where you work so you can reduce glare on the computer screen.

Diesel will do if a hybrid is too pricey

lumbar support, lights, leather seatsupport fog lights ing surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights. While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg! If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches. The refreshed interior design and styling is highly appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the equivalent price of its familiar equivalents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI. The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there.

IT’S REALLY REALLY

The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eightspeed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in a copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. A strong point of VWs as long as I can remember is how its cabin says so much with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate. Then there’s the fuel economy. In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has allwheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle. Visit www.vw.ca for more information. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h. Ford introduced split view on the 2015 Ford Edge and 2016 Explorer in the United States and China. Front split view is offered on Edge. Front and rear split view comes standard in the United States on the 2016 Explorer Limited on sale now and Explorer Platinum, on sale soon. Front split view is coming to the all-new Ford S-MAX and Galaxy in Europe, available to order now. Split view will be offered on nearly all Ford SUVs globally by 2020. A tiny telescopic jet washer keeps the front camera clean on every vehicle with split view.

Explorer also incorporates a washer for the rear camera. Ford plans to make rear-view cameras standard on all of its North American light passenger vehicles by 2018 – and front cameras available on a majority of its vehicles globally by volume by 2020 – meaning the company plans to put more than 2 million new cameras a year on the road. Ford introduced rear-view cameras in the 2007 Expedition and now offers an available backup camera in every Ford car, SUV and light truck in North America. Backup cameras are standard in Focus, Fusion, Explorer, Escape, Edge and Mustang.

The next Ford Super Duty will offer the company’s most advanced camera technology, helping with lane-keeping assistance and enabling customers to see more angles around a truck and trailer than ever before. The 2016 F-150 has up to five cameras available, the most of any vehicle in the Ford lineup. Four cameras in F-150 are mounted in the outside mirrors, and rear and front of the vehicle to enable a 360-degree view and backup view functions. A forward-looking camera mounted behind the rearview mirror is used to activate auto high beams and lane-keeping

assist, which looks for lane deviations. The driver never sees the image from this camera, but the vehicle’s computer uses the visual signal to operate the rest of the system. Ford cameras are tested under extreme conditions – beyond what they will endure during a typical vehicle lifetime. Each camera component is subjected to more than 1,000 hours of testing to make sure it can withstand temperature changes, humidity, dust, salt and more. Ford engineers also immerse cameras to confirm the casing does not let water leak in. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Shirley was born in Big Muddy, Saskatchewan in 1922. She passed away at the age of 92 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on July 22 and has danced off to meet Dad (Morley Cameron, 1918 ~ 2007). Predeceased by sisters, Mildred Verot, Ruby Baskin, and Evelyn Dionne; survived by brothers, Donald and Dick Wells of Alberta. She will be dearly missed by her two children, Carol and Gordon (Lani); grandson, Ryan (Kelly); and 2 great-grandchildren. Mom and Dad were married April 1947 and spent 18 years in Saskatchewan; in 1965 they retired to Powell River, BC, where she enjoyed bowling, bridge, and her sewing circle. In 1980 they moved to Abbotsford, BC where they lived out their retirement years. Shirley loved living at Chartwell Cedarbrooke Retirement Home with her many friends, sharing laughter and wine at Happy Hour every day and also her hobbies of embroidery, knitting with ‘Knit Wit’ friends, as well as her socializing with ‘red hatters’. The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff at Abbotsford hospital for their loving and compassionate care of our loved one in her final few weeks. A private Memorial to be held later. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always here, still loved, still missed, and very dear.” Tributes and condolences may be left at:

After a long, courageous battle with cancer, Lorne passed away on July 18th surrounded by family. Lorne was born in Port Alberni, BC and soon moved to the Fraser Valley, which became home. Upon graduating from Mission Secondary School in 1956, he enlisted in the military becoming a member of the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. While proudly serving his country, Lorne developed a love of travel and meeting new people. This passion led him to visit Europe, Australia and all over North America. Lorne also placed great value on family and friends. He always made others feel important and valued. His sharp sense of humour and infectious laugh will be greatly missed. Lorne is survived by his loving wife Marie (Fortin), son Brian and wife Stephanie (Kurmey), daughter Barb Mitchell and husband Rob and grandson Dylan, sister Beverly Brown, nieces Debbie Mooney and Shelley Culicerto, grand-nieces Allison, Ashley and Jenny and grand-nephew Ben. A memorial service will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 57 in Mission on Saturday, August 8th at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please donate to one of Lorne’s favourite charities in his name: Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 57), BC SPCA, BC Cancer Agency or the Salvation Army.

WELCOME TO THE ABBOTSFORD AIRSHOW! When a world-class jet team announced plans to travel from Europe on their first North-American tour, organizers of the Abbotsford International Airshow (AIA) wanted to ensure one of the stops would be here. This year, the AIA moved its original date by a week to accommodate the Breitling Jet Team and in doing so, wound up on the same weekend as the World Baton Twirling Federation International Cup. Media director Jadene Mah is confident there will still be plenty of accommodations within reasonable driving or walking distance from the airport for out-of-town guests, including camping right at the airshow. “The campground is hugely popular with families that travel in from northern B.C.,” says Mah. “It gives families the option to conveniently enjoy all three days of the event.” The airshow campground is located at the end of the taxiway, allowing convenient access to the show, including shuttles around the site. Weekend camping includes three-day admission to the show (for up to six people) and is just $250 (plus GST and service charges). Portable water, showers and toilets are on-site and the Abbotsford Flying Club offers hot breakfast and dinner menus at The Broken Prop restaurant. “There is a lot to see and do – the airshow site is enormous, with interactive activities for all ages and the flying is awesome,” she says. “Many people take more than one day to try and see it all.”

abbotsfordairshow.com photo

ACES, WARRIORS & WINGMEN

The sky is the limit for this year’s Abbotsford International Airshow August 7, 8 and 9.

According to Mah, more than $1.5 million in resources goes directly into producing the Abbotsford International Airshow.

With three jet teams and three fighter jet demonstrations over three days, it’s no wonder that AIA president Jim Reith says it’s one of the best line-ups in 25 years.

The AIA Society contributes nearly $1 million in direct economic impact to the community, and another $2 million in economic spinoff to local businesses during the airshow timeframe. In contributions to numerous fundraisers, charities, service clubs, sports teams, daycares and youth groups, theairshow society provides support to the community of $65,000 in honoraria and in-kind donations.

The theme is “Aces, Warriors and Wingmen,” commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 1940, the first military confrontation won by air power and Germany’s first defeat in World War II.

Purchase tickets to the airshow before Aug.1 to save with advanced prices starting at $25 for adults and $12.50 for children 6 to 12. Children five and under are free. A carload pass starts at $80, which includes parking and up to six adults in one vehicle. At the gate or after Aug. 1, ticket prices increase. Tickets and camping passes are available online at abbotsfordairshow.com and starting July 1, at any Lower Mainland Save-On-Foods location.

The world-renowned Breitling Jet Team from France is making its first North American appearance with seven Czech Aero L-39 C Albatros jets. They will perform daring aerial stunts at speeds up to 565 mph within 10 feet of each another.

The Horsemen Flight Team will fly their F-86 Saber fighter jets in formation, and the iconic Canadian Forces Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration Squadron) are back with new choreography to celebrate 45 years of flight. The CF-18 Hornet and the United States Air Force’s newest aircraft, the F-22 Raptor, will rip across the sky. “The US Navy is also sending a Super-Hornet, which is a larger, more advanced version of the CF-18 Hornet that Canada has,” says Reith. “It’s a pretty impressive airplane and they look similar until you see them side by side and notice the size difference.” A commemorative RCAF demo Hornet will wear a tribute paint scheme showcasing the WW2

JIM REITH, President Abbotsford Airshow Hurricanes and Spitfires, heavily used fighter aircraft in the Battle of Britain. The Historic Flight Foundation’s B-25 Mitchell bomber will be on display, among many other jets and planes coming in locally and from the United States for the celebration. CONTINUED ON PAGE B19

Airplanes with teeth

5

“Nose art” is a decorative painting or design on the front fuselage of an aircraft, and is a form of aircraft graffiti. In early years of military aviation, the military never officially sanctioned nose art, but unofficially approved it as a morale-booster through individual expression. Wander the static aircraft display and see if you can find some airplanes with teeth. Su Wolfe photo

Call signs

4 3

“Taboo”, “Oreo”, “Cheapo”, “Rihanna”, “Paco” and “Cheech” Call signs are a tradition in military aviation and are nicknames that are usually assigned by fellow pilots. How do you get a call sign? Call signs are usually the result of something silly that a pilot has done, the result of a prank or have it fit with their last name. Vickie Legere photo

Autographs Intrigued about who these “Taboo”, “Oreo”, “Cheapo”, “Rihanna”, “Paco” and “Cheech” characters are? You can meet them in person, find out what their “real” names are, learn about the aircraft they fly and get their signatures at the Air Canada Autograph Booth. Nelson Sison photo

Kids will be amazed when they can take a close look (but maybe not touch) into the cockpits of the many aircraft on display for all to see. From search and rescue helicopters to heavy lift cargo aircraft to fighter jets to beautiful museum aircraft, fascination results when kids of all ages connect how the pilot’s “office” creates the incredible things airplanes can do in the air.

to the airshow.

Pack a blanket and kick back to enjoy the Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team, the SkyHawks; watch Gene Soucy and Teresa Stokes in their wingwalking act with a Showcat biplane; and be entertained by pilot Kent Pietsch’s incredible tricks, such as turning the engine off at 6,000 feet and making a rooftop landing on a moving vehicle. Dan Buchanan will once again bring his mesmerizing hang glider routine

“He is a paraplegic and gets towed to altitude and released,” says Reith. “When he lands we bring him his wheelchair and he gets back in and goes to meet the crowd.” Bring your camera, wander to find something delicious from the various food trucks, enjoy a beverage in the President’s Club or the Flight Club, take the kids through the McDonald’s Kids Zone or

meet the talented pilots and crew at the autograph booth. The Friday Twilight Show offers a different experience than the Saturday and Sunday daytime shows. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with the Canadian Snowbirds, and then as the light fades and the CF-18 Hornet takes off, spectators will be able to see the afterburner trails in the sky. Manfred Radius will perform in an aerobatic sailplane to music, and a

number of performers will have mounted pyrotechnics on the wings of their aircraft. The celebration finishes at 9:45 p.m. with fireworks. The airshow is not just for aviation enthusiasts. It’s an opportunity to learn about Canada’s exciting aviation history and contributions, and honour those who fought in the Battle of Britain.

AIRSHOW PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

HONOURING ACES, WARRIORS AND WINGMEN This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain – waged just over three months from July 11 to Oct. 31, 1940 during the Second World War. With the theme “Aces, Warriors and Wingmen,” the Abbotsford International Airshow will pay tribute to the many brave airmen who fought for freedom. The Battle of Britain was the first military confrontation won by air power, and Germany’s first defeat in the war. It represents a significant milestone in Canada’s air force history. Approximately 103 Canadians flew in the Battle of Britain, mainly as members of No. 1 Fighter Squadron RCAF (later renamed 401 Fighter Squadron). However, the most widely-known pilots come from the Royal Air Force’s 242 “All Canadian” Squadron commanded by Douglas Bader, a double leg amputee who became a household name during WW2 as an exceptional pilot and leader. Among the pilots in the squadron was pilot officer William

the Second World War, the Supermarine Spitfire, will be on display at the Abbotsford Airshow, just for the commemoration. Both are coming in from the Flying Heritage Collection in Washing-

A Hurricane and another one of the best-known fighter planes of

Both aircraft played a vital role in the Battle of Britain, as the Spitfires would intercept the German fighters so the Hurricanes could focus on the bombers. The RCAF demonstration jet, the CF-18 Hornet, will be carrying a tribute paint scheme to showcase the WW2 camouflage that the Spitfires and Hurricanes had in 1940. “A picture of McNab and McKnight are also painted on the tail of the tribute CF-18 Hornet,” says AIA president Jim Reith. “They’ll be serving up a histo-

ry lesson for people about the RCAF.” The Canadian Forces Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration) will also perform at the Abbotsford Airshow to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. “It’s part of what we do. We not only inspire people at the airshow, but it’s linking to our aviheritage, some of that’s mil milation heritage itary and some of it’s civilians,” said Reith on this year’s theme. “Canada has a terrific history of pilots and we want to keep all of that alive with the new generations.”

TWILIGHT SHOW With pyrotechnics streaming from jet wings, daring routines in the fading light and a demonstration by the Canadian Forces CF-18 Hornet at sunset, the Abbotsford Airshow’s Twilight Show on Friday, Aug. 7 is a unique nighttime experience not to be missed.

Sean Donovan photo

Paraplegic hang glider Dan Buchanan will also take to the sky with his all-fabric motorized hang glider, equipped with lights to make it glow during his performance. The Friday evening show offers a completely different experience than the daytime performances on Saturday and Sunday. “It’s a pretty unique atmosphere when you can take your family to an event in the dark and still enjoy cotton candy while watching an airshow,” says AIA president, Jim Reith.

Keeping it Simple®

For those spectators who think they’ve seen it all, Abbotsford International Airshow president Jim Reith, who was a member of the team when he was a pilot in the air force, assures that every show is different because they regularly introduce new choreography. The team undergoes six months of intensive training to master over 50 different nine-plane formations and manoeuvres. This year, the Snowbirds will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a significant milestone in Canada’s Air Force history. Approximately 103 Canadians flew in the battle, which marks the first military confrontation won by air power and Germany’s first defeat in the Second World War. The Snowbirds are consistently one of the most popular aviation spectacles at the airshow. This year they will join the Breitling Jet Team from France and the Horsemen Flight Team as the 2015 jet team performers.

IT’S A PILOTS LIFE FOR ME

Attendees at the Abbotsford Airshow will have a chance to see the best air-toair fighter aircraft in the world, flown by Major John “Taboo” Cummings. He pilots the United States Air Force’s newest fighter aircraft, the F-22 Raptor, in the demonstration flights. The aircraft is known for its unique combination of stealth, supercruise, superior maneuverability, and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, which represents an exponential leap in war-fighting capabilities.

Cummings was in Abbotsford on June 30 for a security check of the airport in preparation of the demonstration. The Raptor has attempted to head to Abbotsford in past years, but has met with obstacles, such as the U.S. sequestration of planes from airshows. But now, the plane is here to wow the crowds this summer. Airshows have long played a role in Cummings life. As a child, he thought he wanted to be a pilot. “I think growing up near an airshow cemented that,” he said, referring to the

event in Oshkosh, Wis. “Going there and seeing planes … It sowed the seed at an early age that this was what I wanted to do.” He had worked as an engineer for a few years in Seattle after finishing his schooling, and then joined the Air Force shortly after 9/11. Cummings went through air force pilot training and first flew the F-15 C fighter, transitioning to the Raptor in 2009 and has been “flying it ever since.” He is currently based in Langley, VA along with the demo team. But the plane for the show can come from any USAF base, and the one flown in Abbotsford will come down from Anchorage, Alaska. Used in warfare, the Raptor’s primary

mission is “air dominance,” said Cummings. It’s a stealth airplane and very difficult to detect on radar, “so that allows us the ability to operate in the first wave of any sort of conflict, to safely protect all the other coalition forces.” “We have a secondary mission of being able to employ air-to-ground ordnance, so we do have a limited air-to-ground role where we can drop bombs,” he said. He added that the jet is “primarily designed to be the best air-to-air fighter that there is in the world.”

As for the airshow performance, he said much of the job includes planning for the performances and leading the team. “The maneuvers that are part of the demo are actually pretty easy and anyone (pilot) could do it,” he said, but added that it takes a little bit of practice to get used to doing them closer to the ground. “The showmanship is what takes a little bit of practice.” Of the unique traits the aircraft possesses, airshow attendees will be able to see the aircraft’s superior maneuverability.

“We can do a flip, a loop, basically in one spot in the sky.” “There is a point in the air show where we will pull it straight up in the air, slow the airplane down to zero air speed and effectively, start falling backwards, and it’s totally controllable.” While his performance is sure to impress, Cummings is quick to downplay his role is making the show happen. “I’m just the one who flies the airplane,” he said, praising the rest of the team. “I get the airplane for 20 minutes a day, and they spend several hours making sure everything is good to go.” And as for his nickname Taboo: “If I told you, then it wouldn’t be taboo.”
