Snowbirds 1
We Americans have the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels. But Canada has the Snowbirds. They somehow manage to combine dazzling maneuvers with grace and beauty. We loved it.
A first pass from the nine Snowbirds.
Don't try this maneuver at home!
Here are seven of them coming across the field at high speed. If you are wondering where the other two are, see the next picture.
The other two crossed right in front of the first seven.
This might have been the prettiest maneuver of the day.
Or maybe this one was.
Here are two of the Snowbirds crossing at midfield. At the last second, they inverted away from each other.
The beginning of a big heart in the sky.
A curlicue with a flareout.
