[@RCAFRules]

This turned out spectacular!

[@AirshowAddict]

Thanks bud!

[@Pontius707]

It's been 50 years since I flew that airplane, and it still looks as amazing as it was then! Of course I was never this good, these guys are and always have been very special.

[@AirshowAddict]

Wow thank you for the great comment! Great to hear from a Former snowbird! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jmmj4me]

Last summer I was in my kayak on Fanshawe Lake watching the Snow Birds fly over during the London Airshow. Ever since I was 8 I’ve wanted to be up there with them!!! Safe flight, wherever you go. Thanks so much for this video! It will be rewatched many many times over! 😎

[@garygodden]

Absolutely amazing video , right in the cockpit seeing what the pilot goes through doilng the performance love it ❤❤❤

[@dogfoodking]

There is no better demonstration team.

[@davemurray2767]

As an Avionics tech I have the privilege of keep these birds flying with a dedicated team of techs for years to come with a new glass cockpit update we carry out @ CFB Trenton

[@AirshowAddict]

Thanks for all your hard work. Glad to hear the jets are getting glass cockpits.

[@Sparweb_Projects]

Spectacular camera angles! Captures the dizzying point of view in the maneuvers. Setting up the camera to follow the ground gives a great perspective on the movement of the aircraft. I gotta watch this again.

[@jwyoungy]

OMG Wow! That is awesome! Just the focus and constant stick and throttle movements show just how difficult this is. The camera views are also amazing. But mostly seeing how close those jets were while flying in that horizontal loop (two jets) towards each other in opposition directions. They were close! Thank you for that video, love the Snowbirds

[@AirshowAddict]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pspboy7]

Flying with the Snowbirds is no joke.

[@garylacoursiere4413]

That brought back some memories! I miss my Tutor-birds!

[@cannalicence4030]

Watching them right now, in Kelowna. Awesome show! thank you

[@richardmaki4236]

Didn’t realize they had to work the throttle that much!

[@judydelang8317]

this is so cool!! Loved it! Would love to sit in that empty chair!

[@AirshowAddict]

Thanks Judy! Think we all would like that. Glad to bring you at least this close!

[@alschill9615]

WOW! Thanks so much for this video!

[@AirshowAddict]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Euphabone]

amazing! Can't wait for this year's shows :) Would love to know what the camera setup was for this video.

[@AirshowAddict]

It was shot with a 360 camera. Glad you enjoyed the video!

years ago i had the pillage of flying with the snowbirds on a media flight...it was like winning the lottery... It was truly an unbelievable experience. You don't notice when you are watching on the ground just how much the planes bob around when in formation...you can see this well in this video...to say the pilots are laser focused is an understatement. At the time I was a small plane private pilot and thought i was cool enough to handle the g-forces and the acrobatics...lol...omg was i wrong...it wrecked me. Total respect to the captains and crew of the Snowbirds...they are the best of the best.

I was always puzzled why when we had brand new cf5 freedom fighters in crates by the dozen they didn't issue them to the snowbirds , the tbirds called them their favorite aircraft (T38s)

[@alexNicoleWa]

Can you buy one of these commercially at this point ?

[@sparky107107]

this is a great video. fantastic to see it from the cockpit point of view. I am amazed that the pilot watches the plane beside him at all times. fun but stressful I am sure. so is this the pilot that is up on sexual assault charges and completely destroyed the 2023 season and shows.. just not the same with one jet passing in front of the crowd instead of a cross over move.

[@bjfontana5760]

Charged was Maj Steve Hurlbut, who flew Snowbird 9.

[@dawnstoddart2369]

Awesome to see a show from a pilot's viewpoint. Thank you for posting.

[@viperup]

This is amazing ! Thank you for sharing. I do have a question for you. If I am not mistaken, you are using trim. Why do you prefer trim over stick inputs ? Thank you in advance, best regards!

[@duncanmarks1590]

hi ,Very impressive, thank you for producing this video. Bye

[@garygodden]

Thankyou for the compliment , the only thing missing is the G forces while flying i.n the Tutour jet , it is so realistic , so amasing love it.❤❤

[@carolinep7580]

Oh wow! I can't tell you how many times I would have lost my lunch in the 22 & a half minutes! Incredible! Thanks so much for the trip guys. Please stay safe.

[@AirshowAddict]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dawnstoddart2369]

Me too! You sure can't fly like that if you suffer from motion sickness.

[@AirshowAddict]

@@dawnstoddart2369 thanks Dawn! Yeah you definitely can’t

[@carolinep7580]

@@dawnstoddart2369 I did for so many years when I was a kid. Grateful I grew out of it!

[@woodchuck2170]

Remarkable! All those intricate manoeuverings

[@Indzeosko]

Love this video. I suggest watching it on a nice size computer screen as the effect is amazing.

[@AirshowAddict]

Couldn't agree more! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@GMoneyMacFresh]

Wish actual fans - not just media people could have the chance to fly with them.

[@57113]

I am Canadian and used to watch the snowbirds and others fly out our front window in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. I was very little and as I grew up to be a ballerina and went to the Royal London Ballet, the snowbirds were always mine. I loved them and they were were part of my Canadian heritage. As I traveled around the the world performing on stage my Canadian Snowbirds were traveling around the country and beyond doing the greatest ballet in the sky. I have the deepest appreciation and admiration for my Canadian Snowbirds. You will always be the best to me and a part of me because their Canadian as am I. ❤❤❤❤❤❤cheers boys, and girls for what you do for Canada 🇨🇦. Merci and all my thanks. 😊 22:19
