Canada is a country with a long and proud
tradition of airshows and display teams.
Starting way back in the 1920's, Canada has
produced well over a hundred aerial demonstration teams, from the Royal
Canadian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Navy and now, the Canadian Armed Forces.
Most have been short-lived... some were "unofficial"... and a few never even
performed in public.
Nevertheless, they all played their part in
Canada's airshow heritage, which is exemplified today by the world-famous
Snowbirds.
The whole display was presented on an area
of approximately 18 feet x 4.5 feet (5.8m x 1.5m) of table space. There are a
total of 163 models on the entire display, including three in 1/48th scale, one
in 1/32nd scale, and all the rest in 1/72nd scale. They were all built by 14 of
our members.
