The 76th edition of the Canadian International Air Show is set to take place this weekend, showcasing a thrilling lineup of aerial performances. Scheduled for August 30 to September 1, 2023, the event promises to captivate audiences at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto. Among the highlights are performances by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the United States Air Force’s F-35 Demo Team, along with the iconic CF-18 Hornet fighter jet.
During a media preview on Thursday, Royal Canadian Air Force pilot Capt. Andrew “AFT” Chen shared his excitement about the show, recalling his first experience piloting the Hornet. “It’s like nothing I’ve experienced before,” he stated, emphasizing the adrenaline and skill involved in operating the aircraft. Capt. Chen will demonstrate the tactical capabilities of the CF-18 in a series of high-flying maneuvers.
In addition to the CF-18, attendees can expect to see the CH-146 Griffon helicopter, utilized in search-and-rescue missions, displayed alongside two Snowbirds jets. The combination of advanced military aircraft and skilled pilots promises a visually stunning spectacle for aviation enthusiasts and families alike.
