Thumb Up if you Like the Snowbirds.
RIP to the pilot and prayers are out to all affected in today’s very sad crash in Kamloops. We are strong and will unite as Canadians during this difficult time❤️
Could have been avoided if ejection seat was 0/0.
Didn’t realize Matt Damon was a snowbird. 😂😂
It’s a joy seeing them flying these beautiful planes in formation every time. Salute to these guys. And rip to the female pilot who passed away today.
These guys are first class. I get teary when I see them fly. Old school!
The Snowbirds are by far the best aerobatic team. Go Snowbirds...!!
As a US citizen, ever since I first saw the Snowbirds demonstration, I've thought it far more impressive than the B-Angels or T-Birds demos. The SB's demo is all about pilot ability in a manually controlled airplane while the US forces demos are more about brute force in computer controlled aircraft. The SB's 9 ship tight formation aerobatic maneuvers are awesome! Any real pilot has the same appreciation for their piloting skills.
It's better to say nothing and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Same is true for posting replies on subjects you (obviously) know nothing about. Regardless how law abiding, patriotic or American you may be, humans are not capable of controlling ANY F18 without aid of the FCS computer. Total FCS failure = airplane crashes. Period.
"Computer controlled aircraft". Oh, yes the Thunderbird and Blue Angel pilots sometimes don't even bother to get into the airplanes because of their computer control will do everything for them. That "computer control" system is great and it works well in real dogfights too. The pilot, as useless as he is, does have the job of flipping a switch thereby powering up the computer controls and then he ejects as he is not needed any more. The aircraft then puts on a complete aerobatic demonstration.
I'm as American as apple pie and bbq but I have to say that although the the Thunderbirds do put on an amazing show and their pilots are top notch, at the last show I went to I enjoyed the Snowbirds more simply because you can keep track of them easily and their teamwork is excellent. The F-16s flown by the T-birds need a lot more real estate and speed to do the same maneuvers and their aircraft are not as easy to spot in light clouds. If they were flying spangley painted A-4s with J-52s I'm sure they could do awesome and more view-able show but at the end they were told to fly white F-16s and they do their best with them. The T-birds do an amazing job of showing lethal the F-16 can be though because you can lose track of them at a freaking airshow and then they come out of nowhere!
@Psychological Nudity I guess it's hard for your 2 neurons to grasp a very basic concept that the OP was making: Hornets use "fly by wire" tech. The flight control surfaces are actuated by servo motors, which themselves are controlled by CPU's. The CPU's get their input from the manual inputs from the pilot (stick, pedals, throttles, etc). The computers then give the pilot mechanical feedback through the pedals, stick, throttles, to simulate the feeling of response from the airplane. Assuming that, so far, this isn't beyond your grasp then.... In contrast, the old Tudors are entirely MECHANICAL input from pilot to flight controls. His stick doesn't send an electronic signal to a CPU that then activates servo motors that then do the "work" of changing ailerons. In the Tudors, it's a direct mechanical cable linkage from the stick to these control surfaces. This is the point the OP was making, and through all of your bluster, juvenile jingoism, and hot air, you missed it. Must be a Trumpette.
Michael Threewit Thank you for your kind words.
Absolutely incredible. If anyone doubts the skill involved here hit 20:41 and watch the rejoin. I have no words to describe this- amazing...
Drifting in at 400 clicks to parallel park with cars that are in motion. Psh... ain't no thang. Hold my beer. *dies*
I'd say at times they fly as close together as the Blue Angels.
Simply incredible!! I was born, raised and still reside in Moose Jaw, SK and still get a Thrill every time I see these guys. It would be a thrill of a lifetime to get to fly with these guys one day. But this video provided a great example what that would be like.
What amazing good humor & spirits from the pilot!
(Clever how the video cuts together clips from YYZ and a different airport.)
Finally, for those who wish to buzz the CN tower, flight schools in the Toronto area are happy to take people up and let them do just that, for a few hundred bucks. It's not just the snowbirds who can get that view.
YHM take-off, Hamilton!!
the snowbirds do us proud as a canadian i have the utmost respect for anyone who pus on the uniform
Coming up to 3 decades since my big bro passed away with 4 others in an RCAF training flight.
When he was coming up rank he wanted c130. They said he was perfect for F18, but he could call it and went Herc.
IN HIS DAY, he also went thru Big Red 2 in MJ, and the training was in the Tutor. In formations. Regular protocol even as he was working to the Herc. Those dont have the Colours is all....
I don't gafk if armchairs don't believe it, that was part of the procedure then, and it made experts on the stick. Sure it's antique but its maintained to an inch of everyone else's life. As in AMAZING MECHS AND TECHS involved, given the frame ages. And the uni's flying at least back then road the feathery rocket. So give a prayer and bow for the losses just now, and the years previous, to the brave COMPETENT members involved in the RCAF. You non mil families WILL NEVER KNOW the achievements, the "friendly allied competitions" we win across the border with our "antique methods and gear", from ppl put in ridiculous corners by govts that DONT CARE about the lives they risk.
Per ardua ad astra
Proud to be,Canadian ♡ For The Snowbirds 🍁❤ Love Them,There The Best In Air shows. 😊 !!
There will never be the exact words to describe the enormous amount of skills necessary to be a aerobatic pilot, not only the discipline and practice alone.
Don’t forget to mention the underrated crop duster pilots who look after our food chain.
I have seen the snowbirds at least 100 times and practice way more but this really is the best way to see the sowbirds
Can’t stop crying RIP JENN you will be missed 🕊🇨🇦💔 I’m crying so much I never had the chance to see them they ground the planes
Super awesome .... we are impressed of our AMAZING Snowbirds 😃👍🇨🇦😲🤘🏻🛩🎉❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🧸🏆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Flying virtually with the Snowbirds is of course really cool. What would make it even cooler is constant play-by-play comments from the pilot about what he/she is doing (and is preparing to do) throughout the entire flight from pre start up to shut down and canopy up. Post flight thoughts might also be interesting. Pertinent questions from the guest could help us understand and "participate" even more. Technical information from the pilot related to the flying and choreography would be appreciated particularly by viewers with a bit of aviation knowledge. The rather detailed commentary could be added to the production post flight. Although the view from a Snowbird cockpit is always interesting, knowing what's going on would make it even more exciting. Comments on the view and landmarks would also add colour. Thanks for taking the time to take us along.
Snowbirds you make me feel so proud being Canadian. Thank you for a great show!
makes me proud to be canadian
daryle aron same
RIP Captain Jenn Casey This is so Sad... After watching this Video I can really appreciate the piloting Skills it takes to Fly the 114 Tudor Jet especially as a SnowBird!
Fantastic video and interview with the Snowbirds captain. Thank you for posting.
Magnificent...deeply saddened by the tragedy in BC..
It's a BEAUTIFUL bird... Big love from Turkey.
cant believe i never heard of this channel. So glad i found it.
“You betcha” All joking aside these guys are awesome! Amazing how much they actually get bumped around in close formation. From an pilot and aviation fanatic myself, our hearts go out to all of you and the recent tragedy. Hope to see you live again soon!
Thank you for this nice video.
Many years ago I was in Toronto.
It was to shortly!
Sorry of my english. :-I
Best regards from Berlin
Hans-Joachim
The Snowbirds are beautiful,they are coming to Chicago for the Air & Water Show 👍🛩️
you guys are amazing,,7gs with no g pants! just amazing,so proud to be canadian
"... and a little bit of smash" Capt. Parker is a true Canadian!
Can't wait to see u guys at the air show this weekend in America
fantastic exhibition of precision flying by the best
the blue angels much better
wrong buddy!!!, these Canadian snow birds are better
blue angel fly modern f18 and thee snow birds fly old cl41 which are harder to fly they have over 40 years old thats why i think they are better because it take a lot of practice to do what they do in their show
Really upsetting 3 people gave this a thumbs down, must have been the 3 people who couldn't make it onto the RCAF.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I LOVE learning about different airplane cockpits, and the pilot gave a great explanation! It's an older cockpit, but it looks pretty simple to operate.
So sad to see a snowbird go down by my house in kamloops . Brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. My heart goes out to captain Jenn Casey and her family. And a speedy recovery captain Richard Mac Dougall
Great video. Nice tour around the tutor as well.
Deep condolence to Capt Jenn , she know become true snowbird in heaven , rest easy capt
Great video and tour around the Tutor! Really impressive. I hope to see you guys at Oshkosh or the Chicago Air Show one day! Thanks for sharing!
I really loved your video yesterday I saw you guys in Bromont,Qc it was great I could not close my mouth i was just drooling. I also met the howl crew. I wish i could one fly one or even ride along. It looks awesome. Thank you.....
22:05 lol look at the parking lot that is our highway on the waterfront.... Good ol' Gardiner Expressway. Love the video! Keep up the good work Snowbirds!
What a wonderful perspective of the city I love so much, and so fortunately and happily, able to call, home. Thanks for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
I worked on those back in 67-68-69 out of Portage La Prairie. So many changes have been done to the instrument panel, the cockpit and all. I don't think I would recognize myself in there servicing them. My trade was Safety Systems so I serviced all safety equipment on the plane.
Superbe ! Wow !! Impressionnant de voir la proximité des appareils lors des manoeuvres, you are the best !!
Love this design!
i'm so proud too be canadian and the are the BEST of the BEST they maybe small but Wow can they ever out shine and its anh honor too be able to say canadians BEST in the world
The explanation of the ejection system made me slump my head. Us TH-cam pilots are used to seeing ejection chutes pop at low altitude with a zero-zero seats. There was just no time in May 2020 to eject, get seat separation and deploy the chute. Thanks for this video.
These guys are super cool I love every demo team
During the air show I was in the top of the CN tower, it was interesting looking down on the Snowbirds while they where flying. In the being there was a female, I believe she might have been the one in the crash in Kamloops. RIP madam.
Love watching the snowbirds love always snowbird4
They fly so close together, this is insane !!! My heart wouldn't stand that for sure, and I was an open wheel racer for years !
I've seen the Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Red Arrows and Snow Birds and enjoyed them all. Well trained, well disciplined bunch of pilots every one. It would be great to ride shotgun like this just once!
My deep condolences to the Snow Birds in their loss of Captain Jenn Casey .
I worked on them, including Snowbirds, in 1970s.. Neat side-by-side seats; fighter trainer..
They were absolutely amazing at Oshkosh.
What a wonderful ride.
Snowbirds don't have the exposure the European and Asian teams have. Croatia, France, Red Arrows, Italy, etc... all have great teams. But it's nice having the snowbirds next to the F-18's of the American teams. it gives some contrast and something different. They don't overstep each others territory and seeing both at a show in North American on the same day is nice. They are different and don't compete.
But if the Canadians upgraded to F-18's they would constantly be compared to the American team, and if not as good, would not be as loved as they are now. I'm sure the guys with the snowbirds and thurderbird teams respect each other to the fullest and there is no competition at all between them. They are apples and oranges.
They are better, it's not the jet but the pilot/training.
Awesome video...thanks for making it and sharing it.:)
the Best team ever....greetings from Brasil
Marcos robert thanks
Excellent video!!! Almost like being back in the driver's seat!
My only negative is with Capt. Parker's comment about taking delivery of these birds in the late '60's. Both FTS's (Gimli, MB and Moose Jaw, SK) had full complements by 1965. I was on the first training course that did not get basic piston engine training in the Dehaviland Chipmunk. We started our military flying training in the CT114 Tutor (aka the Canadair CL41).
Absolutely amazing !!!
That pilot was The Right Stuff incarnate.
amazing...the best video that i ever saw, congratulaion!
Breathtaking!
My mother used to have a Nilfisk vacuum cleaner that sounded like 36:18 when you turned it off. It was still winding down long after you stored it. Needless to say, they give the best suction.
Fun video. One of the best.
There 2013 show at abbotsford airshow was amazing, like omg it was beautiful
gonna see them in Yarmouth Nova Scotia this weekend
Greatly respect our pilots, we owe them top of the line equipment.
Excellent guys!
awesome vid! u sure thats not matt damon? cool that he was so informative
Thanks for NOT including any music:-)
I like The Snow Birds 😀
Great video!
absolute solid nerve ,,, keep up the great work!!
Actually, the Blue Angels, who fly FA18's, do not wear G suits, even though they pull up to 9 g's. This is because the precision they fly with would be hampered by the constant inflating and deflating of the G suits.
The pilot look like Matt Daemon. Lol!
You betcha! (reminded me of the movie "Fargo.")
That was truly amazing to watch...thxs
Jeez amazing shots! thanks for sharing
As Canadian as our Flag God Bless them
I'm wearing G pants. Kind of inhibiting. Good thing I don't exercise. Upgrading to the G Wiz pants soon.
Wow ... this is amazing .. Really well done and i'm really jealous..i'd give anything to go for a flight with them.
Fsfreeware has a brand new version of the Snowbirds that was just released a few weeks ago. You can also download a formation flying program called: FSX AI Formation Toys - Version 4
A lot of fun to be had with both!!
“We took delivery back in the sixties…..” HAHAHAHA
Fantastic video
All of the Elite Demo Teams fly state of the art equipment. And then there is the Snowbirds. A basic jet trainer. SBS so the instructor can see what the student is doing right or wrong and correct as necessary. It wasn't engineered to do what these talented pilots do with it, and yet, they are one of the top display teams in the world. Just saying.
Amazing video!!! Thanks!
Film footage switched between some small airfield and toronto pearson. In flight footage from inside the cockpit was all done in YYZ the outside views of take off and taxi are elsewhere. Taking off from runway 23, magically moments later they are taking off from 26 lol
nothing like flying nose first into a pack of planes, this video is amazing... it looks like they are really fighting the turbulence and bouncing around more so than it looks from the ground, was this the 2012 Toronto International air show?
Just another day at the office!
Great! Thank you!
nice
im not sure but was he saying that the snowbirds are better than the blue angels but just in a way that you cant poke and fingers at per say?
Rramkhal. They are speed bakes. It helps slow the jet down
Amazing!!!
Yup,
We gotcha buddy.
- Bill
nice video!
Thanks!
awesome!!!!
Is it just me or does this Pilot's face look like Matt Damon in the video...Also, as a pilot myself, I love everything about flying however was not aware of the accident many have mentioned in the post which occurred 7 years after this video was posted...meaning, an accident occurred in May 2020...I am going to research that soon as hit "comment" for the post
Why do they taxi with the speed brakes on?
I wondered that too.
My guess is with them out, it reroutes hydraulics, maybe to enable the nosewheel steering. They seem to stay out 'til they shut down.
How similar are these jets to T 37's?
great !
Are those actually missiles mounted under the jet?
No. Those are tanks for the diesel fuel they use for smoke.
its hard to believe that a single bird on a clear day near a runway was the cause
