The 431 Air Demonstration Squadron (Snowbirds) consists of approximately 85 Canadian Forces personnel. All members of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds are serving members of the Canadian Forces, including the Reserve Force, each of whom brings years of military experience to the team.

As with the rest of the Canadian Forces, the Snowbirds operate as a team at all times, both in the air and on the ground. Pilots and technicians work closely with one another on a daily basis in order to prepare for, and bring, thrilling and safe performances to the North American public.

Twenty-four of the squadron members comprise the show team that travels during the show season. The show team has 11 aircraft, nine for aerobatic performances, and two as spares, flown by the team coordinators.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds perform in more than 60 air shows every year, giving the team an extremely busy and exciting schedule.
