In 5 short (but really long) months, the det/display team has seen more of Canada than many Canadians get to see in their entire lifetime. That honour, and commemorating the #cfsnowbirds #ct114tutor legacy, was not lost on us. Here is a glimpse of many of those places, to the timeless music song composed for the team by none other than #stevenvitali, a fellow inspired Canadian, decades ago. Used with permission and great thanks. 🙏 En seulement 5 mois, notre équipe de #snowbirdsfc a vu plus de 🇨🇦 que beaucoup de Canadiens n’en ont vu dans toute leur vie. Ce fut un véritable honneur. Voici un aperçu des lieux visités cet été. #snowbirds55

So hard to choose just 20 photos…
@cfsnowbirds final aerial display over Moose Jaw was very bittersweet. They put on a fantastic show despite some strong winds and made the absolute best of it all!

The team and the CT-114 Tutors will be greatly missed by all!
A Canadian icon a lot of us grew up watching! 55 years of excellence!

All the mechanical technicians have done a fantastic job over 55 years to keep these jets in perfect condition and air worthy so, the Snowbird Pilots could keep taking flight and amaze not only Canadians but everyone around the world who watched them take to the skies!

Snowbirds, you will be missed!
Blue Skies and Tailwinds ahead for you all!
We will see you again soon!

Thank you once again to the @cfsnowbirds for sharing with us 55 amazing years of the CT-114 Tutors. The style, grace, precision and Canadian spirit have truly been a privilege to watch and photograph. It was very bittersweet today watching One Last Ride from Moosejaw in my living room. 😢 Friends and family of the Snowbirds, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to see these amazing pilots and technicians every year. Your sacrifices for the team are not unnoticed and very much appreciated ♥️ Comox has had the honour of hosting you year after year for spring training, and to think I will no longer hear the iconic roar of the CT-114 Tutor in our skies has me very emotional. It has been my pleasure to share with you in every moment I have had with you all. Thank you again Snowbirds, and every single one of you that has made this team possible with the CT-114 Tutors. @hangar_7_tt @match_eh @the2jet @thethreejet @the8jet @jeremy.dionne.98 @jerinjay

I've done lots of snowbirds content lately so with the final public show done here's another tribute of this amazing team from the Barrie Airshow, a shame they are downgrading to props but we will see them in the skies very soon!

Thank you @cfsnowbirds! Until Next Time! 🫡

2021 my first time shooting Snowbirds I was able to capture the incredibly rare 11 jet pass out of YYZ.

I was alone on the hill as they passed overhead, I look back at this video and remind myself how special this moment was.

Second video was @match_eh sign off on the 2931st air demonstration in the iconic Canadair CT-114 Tutor.

We will miss those 9 sparkling light coming head on!

Too bad I wasn’t able to catch them preforming this year but the memories will stay forever. After a solid 55 years today Friday, October 16th, 2026 marks the Snowbirds final aerobatic display that took place in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan.

And there we have it. 55 years, and 2931 shows later the @cfsnowbirds closed out their final season in the Tutor on home turf in Moose Jaw today.

Thanks you for the life time of memories. One last flyby next month for the Grey Cup then patiently waiting for their return in the Siskin II in the not so distant future!

One Last Dance 🇨🇦❤️

55 years. 2931 shows. Countless memories.

Today, in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds' iconic CT-114 Tutor jets took to the skies for their final performance, closing an extraordinary chapter in Canadian aviation history.

These photos were captured in Sacramento at the California Capital Airshow, marking the Snowbirds' final public appearance with the Tutor.

For 55 years, these red-and-white jets have inspired generations, painting the skies with precision, grace and unmistakable Canadian pride.

And as Major Maciej Hatta said during their final performance today:
“I'm not crying, we're all crying.”

Thank you for 55 unforgettable years, you will be miss. 🇨🇦✈️❤️
