Soldier On Air Display: CF Snowbirds DOUBLE PERFORMANCE over tri-community skies!

After last year’s unfortunate cancellation due to mechanical issues, the highly anticipated CF Snowbirds are returning for TWO electrifying shows on Saturday, June 17, and Sunday, June 18 as part of the Soldier On Air Display! Prepare to be amazed as both performances kick off at 1:30pm… With an expected attendance of 10,000 spectators each day, it promises to be an unforgettable experience.

The action-packed weekend begins with a military equipment display at Place 1604 in downtown Dieppe from noon until 6pm on Friday (June 16). Get ready for an adrenaline rush as the SkyHawks Parachute Team showcases their skills in tandem jumps at McEwen airfield, setting the stage for the weekend’s performances.

This remarkable event is presented in partnership with Soldier On, a Canadian Forces charity dedicated to benefiting ill and injured Canadian Forces soldiers and veterans. By hosting this airshow, the organizing committee aims to raise awareness of the Soldier On program and express gratitude to the communities for their unwavering support. Over the past 7 years, the annual golf tournaments have raised nearly $450,000 for this highly effective rehabilitation program. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Soldier On.

“The CF Snowbirds received an overwhelmingly warm response during our previous visit for Op Inspiration in 2020. This time, we are absolutely thrilled to return and showcase two full aerobatic shows over the stunning Petitcodiac River. As someone who grew up in Dieppe, it fills me with immense pride to bring the team to the place where my aviation dreams began. We can’t wait to see all of you on June 17th and 18th,” says Capt. Richard MacDougall.
