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. -

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. -
A History of the Peterborough Airport
DOUG ROBERTSON & TIGER MOTHS 55 YEARS APART PETERBOROUGH AIRPORT TODAY 1 2 PETERBOROUGH AVIATION HISTORY 1946 to 1980 3 DOUG ROBERTSON MAY 2008 4 By Doug Robertson After World War II in 1946, ex-RCAF pilots, Harvey Strub, Eldon Purves, Ed Brown, and several other RCAF types moved to Peterborough. They started building an airport called Skyboro and a flying service out of the field on the Chemong highway near the Lindsay turnoff. They operated two fleet Cunucks and a Globe Swift doing sightseeing trips and charter flights. The following year they ran into some bad luck and all work on the airport stopped. Several attempts were made to get it up and running again. The only flying that went on around Peterborough for many years was float equipped Cubs and Aeroncas. The only fuel that was available came by 45 gal. drum from Imperial Oil in Cobourg Ont. We all kept our own supplies. I contacted the Dept. of Transport in 1952 about getting the old Skyboro strip licensed. They visited Peterborough and gave me a list of work that had to be done to get the strip licensed. The east-west runway was only usable during dry weather conditions and several local people and a few tourists used the strip. Because of its poor condition, several aircraft were damaged over the years until the strip was improved. In 1953, along with a friend, Ken Colmer, we bought a DH Tiger Moth for $300. We painted and rejuvenated the Moth and eventually applied for a ferry permit to take it to the old Barker Airport on Dufferin Street in Toronto to Jim Leggett for its Certificate of Airworthiness. -
Fern Villeneuve, Afc Lt-Col
LT-COL FERN VILLENEUVE, AFC hawkPART 1: THE FLEDGLING YEARS one One of Canada’s most illustrious airmen, Lt-Col FERN VILLENEUVE died on December 25, 2019. Best known as the founding leader of the RCAF’s Golden Hawks innovative formation aerobatic team, his 32-year Service career took in much else besides. In the first half of a previously unpublished 2005 interview with TAH’s Editor, Fern traces the first decade of his remarkable life in aviation T WAS WITH great sadness that we learned of the death of Lt-Col Fern Villeneuve AFC, one of Canada’s most distinguished aviators and a much-valued friend, on December 25, 2019. Back in 2005 I had the privilege — and Igreat pleasure — of interviewing Fern, best known in his home country as the founding leader of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s trailblazing Golden Hawks formation aerobatic display team. We met at Lee Bottom Flying Field in Indiana, USA, where he was a regular visitor to the annual Wood, Fabric & Tailwheels Fly-in. With his Globe Swift parked in the paddock outside, Fern, softly spoken and ever-willing to discuss anything and everything connected with aviation, devoted several hours to a wide- ranging conversation about his flying career. During our conversation he demonstrated his passion for flying of all kinds, from spine- cracking formation aerobatics in state-of-the-art jet fighters to the rather more sedate glider- TAH ARCHIVE TAH towing for students he later enjoyed.
