Girls Fly 2 Arrivals

Each year, there is an event held at Abbotsford International Airport to encourage the involvement of young women in the aviation business.  You get quite a few military aircraft arriving for the event, and they focus on female crews from the units to bring the planes in.  While this is in Canada, the US supports the event well.  I headed up to see what the arrivals would include.

Weather was a bit overcast so not ideal given that plenty of the planes coming in will be grey.  However, there were hints of sun periodically although it did end up throwing down more rain around the time I was leaving.  Aside from the A-10s and a Cyclone, the arrivals I saw were dominated by transport and tanking types.  The KC-135s had come quite a long way but the one I was probably happiest to get was the C-5 Galaxy.  No TF-39 whine, these days, but still a cool jet to see flying.
