The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be jetting across the 91大黄鸭 skyline this weekend, in celebration of an important local milestone.

The country鈥檚 most famous aircrafts will be doing a demonstration over Okanagan Lake at 1 p.m. on both July 9 and July 10 to mark the 75th anniversary of 91大黄鸭 International Airport.

鈥淲e have not seen Canada鈥檚 elite Canadian Forces pilots here for years,鈥� said 91大黄鸭 Mayor Colin Basran.

With the show set to take place north of William R. Bennett Bridge, perhaps the best spots to take it all in can be found along the water from City Park to Waterfront Park.

For safety reasons, spectators are being asked not to fly drones in the area.

Following the show on Saturday, the public is invited to the KF Centre for Excellence at YLW for 鈥榃ings n鈥� Wheels鈥�, where you can see the winged wonders for yourself and meet the pilots.

The Snowbirds fly the CT-114Tutor, which was the Royal Canadian Air Force鈥檚 standard jet trainer for about 40 years.

There will also be a food truck, face painting, music and a car show.

No road closures will be put into effect for the event.
