Another Loss For Aviation... CF-18 Demo Team Cancels 2020 Season

We Know That This Is A Difficult Year For Our Airshow Community...

The International Council of AirShows tellls ANN that 'due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19, the Canadian Forces CF-18 Hornet Demo recently announced the cancellation of its 2020 performance season. With most of the shows on their schedule already cancelled because of the pandemic, the team decided to end their season entirely.'

The team posted a statement noting, "Unfortunately, due to uncertainty regarding COVID-19, the cancellation of most air shows on our 2020 schedule and to protect the health and safety of spectators and our team members, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 CF-18 Demo Team season.

We are disappointed that we won’t get to see any of our amazing and supportive fans this summer. We know that this is a difficult year for our airshow community and want to say thank you to the organizers and countless volunteers who worked so hard to prepare to host us at their shows this year. We truly appreciate your efforts and can’t wait to work with you again in the future.

While we won’t be able to bring you imagery and video of a new paint scheme and team, we will be looking at other ways of interacting with all of you throughout the next year. Stay tuned and stay safe!”
