Updated Schedule Reflects Some Of The Changes/Cancellations Prompted By Ongoing Pandemic
Our good friends at the International Council of Air Shows let us know that the Snowbirds have updated their schedule...
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds initially released their 2021 air show schedule during the 2020 ICAS Virtual Convention in December. Since then, the team spent their early season training at the team's home base in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and recently moved to Comox, British Columbia, where they plan to complete the balance of their 2021 air show preparation. On Wednesday, the Snowbirds released an updated schedule reflecting some of the changes and cancellations prompted by the ongoing pandemic response.
Recently unveiling their new "Strong at Home" paint scheme for the 2021 season, the Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 demo team has also released an updated 2021 performance schedule. The CF-18 demo team will be headed to Comox, British Columbia later this month for their spring training.
