2009 Jones Beach Airshow - Canadian Snowbirds

Canadian Forces Snowbirds

2009 Jones Beach Airshow
Jones Beach State Park
Jones Beach, New York
Saturday May 23, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, you will see the Snowbirds fly their high show performance over Jones Beach for the first time in its airshow history. The first pass in this video is not part of the demonstration, as the team was getting ready to perform. You will also notice the 2009 show routine has changed quite a bit over the 2008 performances, as the Snowbirds are the only North American team to regularly change their shows each show season.

I apologize for the quality of the video, as the high winds and cooler than expected temperatures caught me off-guard, and while dressed for summer-like weather, I was freezing, and the effects of that can be seen in the video (a lot of shake - similar to if I was shooting with the HC52, even though I was using the FX7).

Like what you've seen? If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

I agree. Snowbirds put on a great show. Infact in 2009 I was at republic and while the thunderbirds & blue angels do a flyover before they land, the snowbirds did 3 flyovers and some aerobatics!! that was awesome for them to do that instead of just land and end the show like the others do

Nice video taking and VERY nice flying.

I hope they aren't disbanded.

Many a vicarious thrill watching the Snowbirds.

I must confess: they're very good, maybe more good than Red Arrows or Patrouille de France..

I like its.

Anyone can fly anything, so your statement is useless. I know what I'm talking about.

-_-..  Tutor*

Now I know why John Travolta's Tudor is limited to the aircraft maintenance school at ERAU DB... If it is that unstable they would never allow the student to fly or even ride in it. Might also have to do with the 700,000 USD value :P

Unfortunately the snowbirds are grounded due to ejection seat issues :/

If you like the acrobatic flight, you come in Italy to see the Frecce Tricolori. You won't repent of it, I assure you.

The Aermacchi MB339 or the M 346 are very best of this airplane. The mb339 is very agile, precise in tacking and aerodynamically perfect; the M 346 have all the 339 characteristics but it possess two motors, control's system "Fly by Wire", a sofisticated computer of edge and other very advanced functions.
