Earlier, I hinted at changes to my website. One of those changes was the completion of the RCAF100 section, where every special event celebrating RCAF100 I attended would be put in one place. From ice sculptures to monuments to dissimilar formations, have a look!

It was announced this weekend that the RCAF CF-18 Demo Team will stand down for the 2025 airshow year.
While sad about the news, I am happy to have been able to witness a terrific 2024 year with the RCAF100 painted jet.
Do you have a favourite moment with the team? Let's hear it below!

The two Harvards, RCAF Harvard 20243 and a RCAF Harvard II painted as the original Harvards would have been in WW2, fly a formation pass over CFB Moose Jaw. I wouldn't be surprised if as part of RCAF100, we see more special formation flights like this one!
