They were GREAT, but so VERY Canadian. Last maneuver was a 9 ship love heart.
Best thing was the unit's traveling secretary. Their entire support was 2 admin, 2 mechanics, 1 PR and this woman. She was about 45, looked like Mrs. Appledumpling Gang, 300 lbs, had her own helmet and flight suit and could fly the A/C pretty well. She traveled everywhere as right seat in the #6 ship, as they had no support aircraft!
I first saw the Snowbirds at an airshow I performed at - - I was on a sky diving team. Hammelberg 1970, I think.
