The Canadian Forces
Snowbirds are roaring back to present a new season of aerial teamwork and
discipline.
In a first of its
kind, the Snowbirds will perform a
25-minute, non-aerobatic show over Niagara Falls on May 29 at 6 p.m.
Then, they roar off to dazzle the crowds on
June 1 and 2 at the Waterloo Air Show in Breslau, just west of Kitchener.
They’ll be joined by
wing-walking Jane Wicker, the Smoke-N-Thunder Jet Car and Disney’s Dusty at the
Region of Waterloo International Airport.
The Snowbirds will
be accompanied by the Canadian Forces’ CF-18 Demonstration jet in a show that publicist
Diana Spremo said will be bigger and better than ever.
“There are new acts,
a bigger static display, Food Truck Alley and the inclusion of the Canadian
Aviation Expo, Canada’s premier aviation expo and trade show,” she said.
American Jane
Wicker will demonstrate the daring art of wing walking with no safety line or
parachute.
On the wing of a
vintage biplane, Wicker climbs, walks and hangs all over the Boeing Stearman as
it soars through the sky.
Dusty, the star of Disney's
new 3-D animated comedy movie Planes, will be making his only Canadian
appearance.
