Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The Snowbirds are still flying the same aircraft for the last 50 years. It’s the CT-114 Tutor aircraft. And it's akin to an aerial ballet. The aircraft are super close — up to 4 feet. And it's exactly like watching a ballet in the air. It's a lot of precision... It's not going to be as loud or as intense as the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels, per sé. But people are going to be excited as well. We try to put much more maneuvers in front of the crowd at the same time. So our show is a lot tighter."
