The Snowbirds are just a few months away from their final Canadian performance – slated to be held in Gatineau from September 18th to 20th. A week before that, on September 13th, they will take to the skies in Spencerville as their season winds down. But today, right here in Canada’s Capital, they will be embracing their last Canada Day flight for a while, as the feds plan to ground the outdated aircrafts until at least 2030. Darryl Shyiak, a retired RCAF Lieutenant-General and RCAF Pilot, is the Board Chair of the Snowbirds Alumni Association. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
