2024 Comox Airshow Highlights

I never thought the Comox Airshow would return after the last show in 2015, but luckily the great people at CFB Comox were able to organise a show this year, celebrating 100 years of the RCAF. Here I compiled a bunch of the best clips I got on arrival day, show day and departure day. My personal favourites were watching the EP-3E Aries II arrive (very rare to see!), CF-18 practicing a refuelling demo, the CF-18 demo on show day and the high speed passes from both the C-130H and CP-140.
Some notable appearances in this video:
- Possibly the last Canadian airshow that an EP-3E Aries II attends
- First airshow arrival of the new CC-330 Husky
- first show of the season for the CF-18 demo team and CF Snowbirds
- (maybe?) first appearance of the new CC-295 Kingfisher at an airshow

Some clips are repeats of the arrivals video, and also these clips are not all in order... enjoy!

*Excellent AirShow*

[@AonghasMcTavish]

I'm glad this was so close to home, a great airshow for such short notice.

[@nybotor1]

For me, personally, it was great to have an airshow back on Vancouver Island again. I heard there might be another Comox airshow in 2026.

I couldn't make it to the airshow this time around!
Thanks for the awesome content!
Cheers 🍻

[@nybotor1]

Thanks! Glad you can at least view it here.

Fabulous photography! Wish I could have been there but the airshows don't seem to be as often as before.
Last one we attended was in Lethbridge Alberta where the CF-18 piloted by Captain Brian Bewes hit the dirt, during practice. CZcams has amazing videos. The aircraft was still sitting at the crash site when the airshow was held a few days later.

[@nybotor1]

Thank you! Yeah, I believe the last few Comox airshows pre-2015 were held every other year for a few years. I heard rumours that the Comox airshow will be returning in 2026.

[@Ykaspotter]

Fantastic work, Tobyn! You've gotta love those old smokey Hercs and Auroras + Orions. Can't complain about the fighters either!

[@nybotor1]

Thank you very much! Yeah, I gotta say, the Hero demo and Aurora demo were probably my favourites.

[@HOWNDOG66]

Great video. Sure do miss the Buffalo

[@nybotor1]

Thanks! Me too, it was always my favourite aircraft to see at Comox.

[@pspboy7]

I love the SAR livery!

[@SuperJellicoe]

Good videos! I could not be there, but this is just as good. thank you for sharing.

[@nybotor1]

Thank you very much! You're welcome.

It's going to be cool when the 8 poseidon aircraft arrive in Comox

[@nybotor1]

Definitely!

I made some videos about it too
