An Up Close View of the Snowbirds!

 Hullo!! So yes, we did come down to the harbour and watch the Snowbirds up close!


The weather is not bad...

Ooooh... there they are!

Er... that's a seagull?? Hello??

Interesting... my human is obviously losing focus!

Oooohhh... no... there they are!!!!

Wow! They are doing a big loop!

Up and up and...

Then they are going... over...

And coming back down!

Ooohhhh!!!

It was noisy!

Oh well, that's a good shot!

The waterfront is definitely the place to be!

But they move fast and sometimes this is all you get!

That's them firing off into the distance!

Pretty darn cool!

We learned that the guy narrating the show was Captain Richard MacDougall. He is Snowbird 11 and was involved in the crash in May 2020 ago in Kamloops. His plane was taking off and a bird went into the engine causing it to fail. MacDougall and his passenger, Captain Jenn Casey, a public affairs officer for the Snowbirds, both had to bail out at a very low altitude. MacDougall landed on the roof of a house and was badly injured. Casey landed in a tree and didn't make it.

We enjoyed the show a lot and Rose even shot some videos!



Way better than from the house!
