Snowbirds Spring training officially starting May 3

Starting this weekend, you can see the Snowbirds train in the Comox Valley.

19 Wing Comox has announced the Snowbirds are returning for spring training ahead of their upcoming show season at the base.

They say the team might fly up to three times a day, but because training times are weather dependent, no flying schedules will be posted on social media.

To see the planes, head to Air Force Beach and make sure to get either a season parking pass, which costs $31.50 and is valid on all days, or a daily pass which is $5 and valid Monday to Friday.

They say you can also see the flights at Heritage Air Park just down the Comox Air Force Museum.

The flights start May 3, and run until May 24.
