Growing up, my family made a tradition of going to the Abbotsford Air Show whenever we could. Watching the Canadian Forces Snowbirds are some of my earliest and fondest memories.

Having the opportunity to watch them practice several times per day during the last few weeks of their spring training here in Comox has been such a great experience that brought some of that childhood excitement back again. Can’t wait to have them back next year!

Safe travels to all the pilots and the support team that make this all possible and good luck with all your upcoming shows.

Must be a blast watching them practice. I enjoy seeing the snowbirds at the SF Fleet Week every year.
@[email protected] I feel absolutely spoiled here. They’re my new favourite method of marking the return of Spring! Great photo by the way 🙂
@AaronPengellyPhoto I was lucky to be interning at NASA/Ames at Moffett Field in the early 1980’s and got to see the Blue Angels practice for their 4th of July air show from the runway. Nothing like it!
