Canadian Snowbirds Will Be Flying Over Western New York Today

It is not a bird, and it is not Superman, but it is a plane that will be flying high over Niagara Falls today. The Canadian Snowbirds, who are the Canadian version of the US Navy Blue Angels, will be flying over Niagara Falls today.

Where To See The Canadian Snowbirds In Western New York

There is no set time for the practice runs, but, weather permitting, it should happen mid to late afternoon. The Canadian Snowbirds' next big airshow is coming up in Columbus, Ohio, on June 19th.

Who Are The Canadian Snowbirds?

This amazing group of pilots and staff is the Canadian equivalent of the US Navy Blue Angels. They travel around Canada and the world performing in different airshows and showing off the skills of Canadian pilots.

The Canadian Snowbirds fly the CT-114 Tutor plane which allows them to fly different formations and do stunts. The Tutor was the primary jet trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force until 2000.

The planes you will see today are slightly modified and enhanced to allow pilots to do tricks and stunts.
