While the new year isn’t quite here yet, Canada’s Royal Canadian Air Force aerobatic flight demonstration team is already making preparations for summer 2025.
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds team just released their initial air show schedule for next year, which includes multiple shows in British Columbia, including their inaugural show in Nanaimo May 24.
From there, they return for multiple appearances in the sky in July, including Boundary Bay and Vancouver (non-aerobatic display) on July 19, then again in Vancouver for a flypast or non-aerobatic display on July 23, Aug. 2-3 in Fort St. John, Aug. 6 in Pentiction and Aug. 8-10 in Abbotsford.
The team has confirmed they will be returning to the Comox Valley for their annual spring training, but have not yet confirmed the dates.
431 Air Demonstration Squadron consists of approximately 80 personnel, 24 of whom comprise the show team that travels during the show season. They have been a fixture at airshows and entertaining audiences across North America since 1971.
