Esquadrilha da Fumaça é bem melhor que esses caras ai!!!!!! EDA sempre!!!!! Mas acho que se os snowbirds treinarem MUITO quan sabe um dia cheguem aos PÉS da Esquadrilha da Fumaça!!!! Fumaça Já!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The smoke effect I believe is releasing hydrogen from the engine. A toggle control. The tubes underneath is where the weapons would be if not flying over 1000's of friendly's.
I just saw a show here in Quebec! It was wonderful... Im 12 years old and im proud to be Canadian also for making part of the 431 squadron,for being in the same squad of specially the captain of this snowbird team!At least in 2011 that women is named
-COLONEL Maryse Carmichael (:
Btw if you live in quebec and you have seen planes flying that means that you just meated the snowbirds! (:
but seriously the snowbirds need to get rid of those piece of shit planes they fly and get something way better, faster and louder my 4 year old brother didnt even have to cover his ears when those things flew over. When the thunderbirds fly over 2 low they scare the shit out of him if he doesnt see them coming lol its halarious
Just cause someone's not faster and louder at gymnastics (for say) it doesn't mean they aren't good or graceful.
Too many teams use fighter jets. They may look good 'fast', but it doesn't show what Canada means. We are peace keeping, and this is a peaceful show. Well, IMO :P
@PhysicsTowerTeam Oh I know dont get me wrong love the snowbirds performance but I just think they should fly some better jets but maybe they dont because of some of the formation flying they which is some of the best
@PhysicsTowerTeam Im from the U.S. by the way and we have a yearly air show at the air force base near here and usually we have either have the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels every year as the main thing we had also been having the Snowbirds coming as well. Well this year I guess the neither the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels thought we were worth it but the Snowbirds still came lol.
@PhysicsTowerTeam Man you wont to see the best Air Force demonstration team watch videos of the British Red Arrows or I think they are the Royal Air Force Red Arrows. They do stuff that I see no other demo squads doing
also that bomburst they going straight to the ground is so cool i dont ive ever seen the thunderbirds or the blue angels do that they only do it going straight up
@RAFDREAMER wow i had never even heard of the red arrows and i just watched a demistration of them there amazing best display team ive ever seen why oh why have they never come to the air show in my area. No doubt the snowbirds arent in the same league but the snowbirds still do some damn good formation flying.
My dad was on the team in 85 and 86. He was #4, right in the middle. We have gone to a few shows, and I cant believe that my dad was actually up there, doing the same things these pilots are doing. Im so proud of him, and I wish I had been there to watch him perform
Sweet video. The Snowbirds just flew over my house in formation, here in Windsor (air show this weekend). Its been so long since I've seen the Snowbirds.(15 years) I can't wait. Hope I don't get ripped off for tickets at the gates. I am only an RC pilot, so my hats off to anyone who is a member of this great organization. Thanks for the footage!
You got it, once #5 reaches a certain altitude and airspeed he rocks his wings and the solos break away. This is mostly to avoid the turbulent air from the jets in front and partly because it looks cool :)
I could watch these forever! I have a DVD that was made with Stings song. If this was filmed in 2007, I think my cousin was up there. Paul Couillard #2 right wing. Right? I'm so proud of him. Only was able to see him fly once. Thanks,
THis is a great video.. but ~absolutely RUINED~ by the music! Why do people feel the need to impose music over flight displays! The engines and the radio calls are the only soundtrack needed..
Awsome footage , i used to live in Campbell River , just seeing the Island makes me want to go back there . When i was 16-21 we would go to this beach that had a boat launch right below the base and watch the snobirds practice when they were in town.

what are those little tubes on the bottom of the snowbird?
FROWNIEFACE 2 years ago
The little tubes carry the diesel fuel from the 2 tanks under the belly to the exhaust at the rear to create the smoke effect.

Never tire of watching these talented pilots. Are there any female pilots on the team yet?
swedanica 2 years ago
To the best of my knowledge there has already been a female pilot on the team.
She is Maryse Carmichael and she joined the team in 2000.
splashsb 2 years ago
Thanks for your reply! I found out, Major Maryse Carmichael became the very FIRST Canadian female pilot to be selected to fly with The Snowbird Team.
~ Perhaps in my next life....

Another question lol =P At 1:04 , I've seen that little "jerk" in the plane. Is that a signal for the soloists to cut off?
