Some of the world’s best military and civilian aerobatic teams are heading to Borden, Ontario, this Father’s Day weekend to put on a spectacular aerial show for crowds attending the Borden Canadian Armed Forces Day & Air Show.
Among the performers are the beloved Canadian Forces Snowbirds, who just wrapped up their training season in early June. The team performed its private acceptance show on June 9 at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in front of family, fellow military personnel, and the media, who gave their stamp of approval on the team’s demonstration.
Borden is the first stop for the Snowbirds, who tweeted on June 10, “We can’t wait to show you our new show this summer.”
Other performers at Borden include the Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team (the Skyhawks), the CF-18 Demo Team, the U.S. Air Force A-10 Demo Team, the Northern Stars Aerobatic Team, and many more.
In addition to the air performances, CFB Borden is hosting an all-day family event featuring helicopter rides, interactive activities, an obstacle course, and historic displays showcasing equipment and Canadian Armed Forces members.
CAF Day and Air Show 2022 kicks off June 18 and wraps up on June 19. At the time of writing, tickets were still available.
Parking is free for anyone with a non-perishable food item donation.
