The Public Face of the Royal Canadian Air Force: the Importance of Air Shows and Demonstration Teams to the R.C.A.F
The Public Face of the Royal Canadian Air Force: The Importance of Air Shows and Demonstration Teams to the R.C.A.F. For History 394 A02 Dr. Timothy Balzer An Essay by Luke F. Kowalski V00738361 April 1st, 2013 1 For almost as long as Canada has had an air force, it has had demonstration flyers displaying the skill and daring required to be a pilot. From the first formation flight in 1919 on, demonstration teams have played an important role in keeping the Royal Canadian Air Force engaged and interacting with the Canadian public.1 Examining the history of R.C.A.F. air show participation and demonstration flying reveals that Canadian demonstration teams regularly faced adversity and criticisms, such as being too expensive or having ulterior motives, despite the fact that they have provided many important services and benefits to the R.C.A.F. This paper will argue that R.C.A.F. participation at air shows is not only an important way to demonstrate the skill and professionalism of the force, but also a significant part of public relations and a vital recruiting tool. For these reasons, today’s 431 Squadron Snowbirds are an integral part of the Canadian Forces. Rather than relying on secondary sources, this paper’s argument will primarily be supported by the information drawn from three oral history interviews conducted by the author of this paper. This is because reliable sources on the topic of Canadian air shows and demonstration flying is limited, and, as military historian Edward M. Coffman points out, if you want information “you must seek it among the impressions which can be obtained only from those who have lived a life amid particular surroundings.”2 The three interviewees are Major General Scott Eichel (Ret’d), former base commander and Chief Air Doctrine officer;3 Lieutenant 1 Dan Dempsey, A Tradition of Excellence: Canada's Air Show Team Heritage, (Victoria, B.C. -

Canadian Forces Snowbirds Fact Sheet
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds The Canadian Forces Snowbirds ar e proud to uphold the legacy of military aviation excellence as Canada’s Air Demonstration Team. The thrilling display of the 9-jet precision flying by the Snowbirds is made possible thanks to a highly skilled and dedicated team of pilots, technicians (aviation, avionics, aircraft structure, supply), mobile support operators, resource management support clerks, engineers, a logistics officer and a public affairs officer. Together, while serving as ambassadors, all members of the Snowbirds showcase the skill, professionalism and teamwork inherent in the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Snowbirds are based out of 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and are comprised of just over 80 Canadian Armed Forces members, 24 who travel to 40 locations across Canada and the United States for the 2019 season. The Snowbirds fly the CT-114 Tutor a ircraft that was designed and built in Canada by Canadair as the Canadian Armed Forces primary jet trainer until it was replaced by the CT-155 Hawk and CT-156 Harvard II in 2000. The single General Electric J85 engine produces 2,700 pounds of thrust which propels the relatively light aircraft to speeds of more than 400 knots. The straight wing design creates a lot of lift and the controls are finely tuned making it a classic sports car of the air. Despite its age, with the exceptional maintenance it receives, the Tutor is a perfect platform as a formation aerobatic demonstration jet. The Snowbirds’ “TankCam”, a modified smoke tank mounted on the belly of Snowbird 1 holds three high-resolution cameras capable of capturing stunning video and imagery of the entire formation in flight. -

CASM-Canadair-CL-13B-Sabre-F-86
CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT CANADAIR CL-13B / F-86 SABRE MK 6 RCAF GOLDEN HAWKS SERIAL 23651 Introduction In August 1949, Canadair Limited, located at the Cartierville Airport facilities near Montreal, and the Department of National Defence (DND) signed a contract for the manufacture under license of 100 of the most advanced swept-wing day fighter aircraft of the time, the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre. Assigned the Canadair model number CL-13, this order led to the largest aircraft production run in Canadair’s history. From 1949 to October 1958, Canadair Limited went on to produce some 1,815 examples of the famed fighter, in models ranging from the Sabre Mark (Mk) 1 up to the ultimate Sabre Mk 6 series, with a few special experimental models emanating from the production batches. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the prime customer for the majority of these aircraft, but the power and reputation of the Canadian-built examples had other nations sit up and take notice, eventually culminating in numerous orders to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-NATO countries. Canadair delivered versions of the CL-13 Sabre to the United States, Britain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany, Columbia, and South Africa. RCAF variants served domestically training pilots and crews, and performed an important role in the Canadian commitment to provide a European air contingent for NATO operations. Some of the Canadian-based RCAF units wished to proudly show off their shiny new jet mounts to the general public, seeing as they were paying for them in one way or another, and permission was eventually granted for limited public expositions. -
