Snowbirds returning to the Comox Valley for training in April

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are returning to the Comox Valley this spring for training. 

The Snowbirds will fly up to three times a day from April 18 to May 9 as they prepare for their public shows. 

“Please note that flights may be cancelled without notice, and specific flight times will not be published as these are training flights and not public shows,” the Town of Comox said in a social media post. 

Members of the public who plan to watch the Snowbirds from Air Force Beach must have a parking pass. 

Passes can be purchased at the campground office for $5 for a day-use pass or $30 for an annual pass. 

The Snowbirds train in the Comox Valley before performing shows from May to October in cities across Canada and the United States.
