If you are in the Victoria area tonight…
🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds, alongside three RCAF CF-18s from 4 Wing Cold Lake, will be conducting a flyby today, at approximately 7:30 p.m. (PDT), for the David Foster Foundation 40th anniversary concert in Victoria, B.C.
The aircraft will fly over the Inner Harbour at an altitude no lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle on their route. Flybys by RCAF aircraft are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety, and are dependent upon weather and flying conditions.
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration team flies CT-114 Tutors. The Tutor was the primary jet trainer for the RCAF, and the aircraft currently flown by the Snowbirds are modified for show features and enhanced performance during low-level aerobatics.
The CF-18 Hornet is the RCAF’s frontline multi-role fighter, and is employed in many different capacities, including air defence, air superiority and tactical support.
The RCAF is proud to share in national events such as this, with flybys that allow us to demonstrate the capabilities of our personnel and aircraft to Canadians.
