The SkyHawks are making their way back to Campbell River this summer.

As part of the City’s summer recreation programming, the Skyhawks will be at Willow Point Park (fields 4 and 5) on Monday, July 14th, at 12:30pm.

The Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team is Canada’s only military parachute demonstration team.

It includes 13 demonstrators from the Canadian Army, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Royal Canadian Air Force, including both Regular Force and Reserve members with diverse professional backgrounds.

In addition to the 13 demonstrators, the SkyHawks have four team members on their ground crew: an imagery technician, a public affairs office and narrator, an administrative officer and a drop zone controller.

The team will be available to chat, sign autographs, take photos and teach about the parachutes and gear.
