Snowbirds in Greenwood




What a day for aviation enthusiasts!

As part of the Centennial of Flight Celebration, 14 Wing Greenwood is hosting a family day today from 3:00pm-8:00pm...or, I mean...1500hrs-2000hrs.

The event will be centered around the parade square and will include fun for the whole family with various kids’ activities such as:

Aviation arts and crafts, CF-18 Cockpit simulator, Fire Department displays, Air Cadet displays and Search and Rescue Displays. There will also be various aircraft on display including the CH-149 Cormorant, CP-140 Aurora, CC-130 Hercules, Silver Dart replica and Zenair aircraft. The official unveiling of the restored Anson will also take place, and you can expect a visit from Jerry Neville and the Magic 94.9 cruiser.

The event will wrap up in the sky with a spectacular aerial display from the Snowbirds and a CF-18. That will begin at 6:30...or 18:30 hrs :)

All are welcome, there is no cost to attend, and it should be a great evening weather wise...so it'll be a blast!

Don't forget to stop in the Aviation Museum in the CANEX building too. The kids will love it, and so will you!
