2009 MCAS Miramar Airshow - Canadian Snowbirds

[Ralroost]

Have to say I am proud of the snowbirds- one of the best/most unique flying teams, flying the tutor instead of the BAE hawk. It will be a sad day when they can no longer field the tutor...

Wonder how the Snowbirds were allowed to do the maneuver at 27:13. The FAA has tough restrictions on maneuvers with directed energy towards the crowd. If it was a flat pass that is fine, but this has one aircraft rolling around the other and then a cross over break. The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds had to change their cross over breaks from starting in front of the crowd to starting from behind the crowd. One other note, If I was #9 I would be pissed if I had to march like that every time.

@Vipersden11 they use perspective illusions a lot - same with the Blues and Birds... he's rolling around the smoke trails a good distance behind the four... you can see his shadow on their trail at some points. :)

I think I can describe this air show with just one word...BORING!

[Ralroost]

@pjzzxxyy So you are sarcastic, a woman, or gay I guess.

27:34 cool move!



[kloudkreeper]

Canadian pilots rule!

[wormtoad1]

why do 1 and ten swap roles half way through?

[MonsterRCdudes]

27:13 is the best stunt I have seen any team perform...Amazing

[Zygoner]

Still flying Tutors. Amazing!

[2010peters]

I wish they flew CF-188s Imagine the noise!!!! Awesome!

[FreshPez]

LOL. The Snowbirds are in America so they marched out to the aircraft as the Americans do. Gives me a smirk.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that traditional? I've been watching the snowbirds for 20 years and don't remember seeing a march.

mate, don't worry about your mistakes, u did an awesome job taping my snowbirds down there, thx from a proud canadian and snowbirds fan

[saintrobbie375]

The Snowbirds have always marched out to their jets in the same fashion as the Blue Angels as most display teams do as well. The Snowbirds had a lot of technical difficulties this year as well: In Halifax this past weekend they had to leave a pilot in Toronto with an illness and during Sunday's show had an aircraft return to the airport with a warning light. So we ended up seeing a show with 7 aircraft. I think we're about a year or two away from seeing them retire

[hague92]

[Ralroost]

@hague92 If you're referring to the bagpipes, i recognize the song as one that Simon Fraser Uni did at worlds, try simon fraser medley 2007

[Ralroost]

@hague92 actually try 'Medley - SFU Pipe Band wins the World Pipe Band Championship in 2008 ' its in that one.

[BrimHawk]

9 planes taking off at once, is pretty cool.

[fsxdogflight187]

ALSO FIVE STARS :)

[PsuPepperoni]

nvm i looked it up

[PsuPepperoni]

are they hunters?

[weeebbz]

i think i missed something why did #1 land

[mandeepgidda]

He had some strutural damage so he landed and hopped into the support aircraft (#10) and flew the rest of the performance in it. From what I heard they repaired it that night and the pilot left in #1.
