An unforgettable weekend sharing the skies with our northern neighbors! 🇺🇸🇨🇦

It was an honor to perform alongside the Canadian Forces Snowbirds in Sacramento for a truly historic airshow. This marked their final performance in the U.S. before taking a hiatus to transition to the new CT-157 aircraft.

To our RCAF brothers and sisters: thank you for the incredible memories and the camaraderie on the flightline. We’re wishing you a smooth transition and can’t wait to see you back on the road showing off the next generation of Canadian airpower.

Blue skies and tailwinds! ✈️
