Description
The awesome Canadian Armed Forces TAC Demo at the 2008 Abbotsford Airshow! They used their new Griffon helicopter and flew two CAP CF-18's for the entire show!The Sunday demonstration was a bit more mellow due to the addition of the Missing Man pass made by the CF-18's in memory of a fallen soldier in Afghanistan who was related to an important member of the show. He will be terribely missed and he served his country well.
God bless our World's servicemen.

One thing I don't understand... "New" Griffons?

Well, I haven't seen any before this past year so I figured they were new. A bit selfcentered of me, really, to think that if I saw it for the first time last year its new to everyone lol

Ahah, alright. Well, they aren't really new... The CF has bought a bunch of Chinooks and Cyclones recently, but we've had Griffons for a few years now (I don't know exactly, but more that a dozen years at least

Thank you! I was really pleased with that one. It was one of the only shots I got that day that didn't have a person's face in it.
