The Snowbirds Commercial

From May 12 to 16, 2010 the Canadian Forces Snowbirds were based in the city of Brandon, Man. to help celebrate two auspicious events: On May 13, the squadron began the 2010 season with a bang, so to speak. The nine twinkling lights of the Snowbirds flew over Canadian Forces Base Shilo to the sound of artillery canons firing as the local community welcomed the Memorial Cup - Canada's junior hockey championship trophy. It was a festive atmosphere as spectators and Snowbirds, alike, were entertained by the rockin modern beats of the Air Command Band from Winnipeg, Man.

The Memorial Cup, originally dedicated to servicemen who died in the first world war, was rededicated at this event to honour all men and women of Canada's military that have died in the service of their country. In a classy follow-up, the nine plane formation flew overhead a second time in a missing man formation - a maneuver traditionally performed to honour those that have passed away.

The same cup that is now in Windsor, again.
Congratulations to the Spits!

Brazilian Footage

Here's some really good footage of the Smoke Squadron performing. They fly some really great lines and are an excellent show to watch.

Brazilian Air Force Smoke Squadron

This is one of the biggest releases in the industry this year.

The Windsor International Air Show is the first stop on a short North American Tour for the Brazilian Air Force. We are pleased and fortunate to host this military aerobatic team as they travel a great distance to be a part of our show. They represent their country as professional and highly skilled aviators that we welcome to our air show.


Their Goals
- To stimulate and develop vocations and aeronautical mentality;
- To valorize the Brazilian Air Force and the sense of nationalism;
- To express the devotion and professionalism of the Brazilian Air Force members;
- To demonstrate the high degree of training as well as the skills of the Brazilian pilots;
- To ascertain the quality of the Brazilian aeronautical industry products;
- To contribute for a higher integration among the Brazilian Air Force and other Armed Forces;
- To stimulate a closer contact among the civilian and military segments involved in the aeronautical activity;
- To represent the Brazilian Air Force abroad as a diplomatic instrument;
- To disseminate the Social Communication policy of the Aeronautics Command; and
- To take part in the process of national integration, assuring the presence of the Brazilian Air Force in the events carried out all over the country.



We are making an official press release all over North America. Our Air Show will be an immense production this year, stay tuned, and tell your friends as this year is definitely going to be a memorable one.

Get to meet these great pilots during our Wing Off Night, Friday August 20, 2010. From what I hear the restaurants are planning new countermeasures to be the "NO Bull, Top Gun, Best of the Best Chicken Wing Cook Off" winners. The top chicken contenders will have the dubious title of having the best International Air Show Wings. That's just the way it is.

Don't miss it!
