If you looked up last night (July 24), you may have spotted the unmistakable formation of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds soaring over Red Deer and the surrounding region.
The nine-jet team was on their way to Camrose, where they’ll headline this weekend’s Camrose Airshow at the Camrose Airport.
The CF Snowbirds, formally known as 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, are a beloved Canadian icon, made up of Canadian Armed Forces members and National Defense public service employees.
While Thursday’s flyover was a non-aerobatic display, fans can expect a full performance this weekend.
The Camrose Airshow will feature the team both Saturday and Sunday.
Gates will be open at 11:00 a.m. both days with the flying set for 2:00 p.m.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to take in pre-show activities before the main aerial display begins.
Tonight, (Friday, July 25) as part of a kickoff event there is a Maple split ice cream social where you will have the chance to meet with the pilots.
