The Snowbirds have completed their final air show with the iconic CT-114 Tutor, closing an incredible chapter in Canadian aviation history. ✈️
NORAD shares a special connection with Snowbird 1, Major Maciej “Match” Hatta, and Snowbird 2, Major Steve “Stewie” Timm, both former CF-188 Hornet pilots flew NORAD missions before joining the team.
From defending our skies to inspiring from above, congratulations to the entire Snowbirds team on a historic final show.
Blue skies, Snowbirds!
