The Snowbirds’ pilots and aircraft technicians spend the winter months at their home base in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, acquiring and practicing the skills necessary to perform in very demanding positions.

The Snowbirds’ show is the result of six months of intensive preparation and training and consists of over fifty different formations and manoeuvers.
