The Canadian Forces Snowbirds announced yesterday, at the International Council of Air Shows conference in Las Vegas, that they will be the feature act on July 26 and 27, 2008 for the Wetaskiwin Air Show 2008.
Smoke, precision, speed and synchronized high performance aerobatics will be on display as incredible civilian and military performers take to the skies over the Reynolds-Alberta Museum grounds.
Visitors will also be able to see rare unusual and one-of-a-kind aircraft from the Reynolds-Alberta Museum collection (the second largest aviation collection in Canada), a variety of guest display aircraft and participate in family-friendly activities. The Air Show offers a safe, informative, interactive, entertaining and memorable experience.
The Reynolds-Alberta Museum grounds will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the air show taking place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day (schedule and performers subject to change).
