Snowbirds Training This Month In Comox

Spring is in the air and so, soon, will be the Snowbirds.

Canada’s military aerobatics team will be training April 18th through May 19th and the Department of National Defence is reminding members of the public who want to use Air Force Beach, that it comes with a fee.

A season pass is only $30 and can be purchased at the campground office.

While the Snowbirds are in town, members of the public who wish to watch from Air Force Beach during the work week can buy a day pass for $5.00 at the campground office.

On weekends, users MUST have a season pass to enter Air Force Beach, and due to limited parking capacity during Snowbird season, vehicles may be turned away if the parking area is full.

The DND notes there are many other areas to view the Snowbirds practice shows, including the Heritage Air Park just down from the Comox Air Force Museum.

On Saturday May 18th, Air Force Beach will be closed to the public for the 19 Wing Airshow.

The Snowbirds flying schedule is posted at Canadian Forces Snowbirds, as well as at 19 Wing Totem Times.
