Canadian Forces Snowbirds at the 1999 Abbotsford International Airshow

On March 31, 1999, Snowbird #15 was at Abbotsford Airport along with the 1999 CF-18 Hornet demonstration aircraft and a CT-114 Tutor from "Big 2" Squadron. The purpose of the visit was primarily to promote the 1999 Abbotsford Airshow and display the colours of the demo CF-18 to the public. Here are some photos I took that day of Snowbird #15.
