From September 6 to 8, 2024, all eyes will be on the skies over the Gatineau-Ottawa Airport for the largest air show in the history of Canada’s Capital Region.
The region will feel the rumblings of high-speed flypasts by three legendary international aerial demonstration teams: the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, their UK counterparts the Royal Armed Forces’ Red Arrows, and the US Air Force’s Thunderbirds.
These performances will be enhanced by breathtaking aerobatic demonstrations and flyovers from current and historic military aircraft as part of the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the 7th edition of Aero Gatineau-Ottawa.
