Snowbirds here for just a couple more days

 by Keith and Heather Nicol
The Snowbirds are back practicing in Comox but will be here just a couple more days. We saw them
for their Sunday morning show under clear blue skies and the grassy fields at Air Force Beach were packed with on lookers. The setting is spectacular overlooking the Strait of Georgia with the snow capped mountains of Coast Range behind. Here is one schedule we found on line-

SNOWBIRDS
Mon-Fri: 9:40am – 10:25am & 12:45pm – 1:30pm

The  planes can leave some impressive jet trails

Sat: 9:10am – 9:55am & 12:45pm – 1:30pm
Sun: 9:45am – 10:30am & 1:00pm – 1:45pm
CF-18 Hornet
Mon-Sat 12:05pm – 12:34pm & 3:45pm – 4:15pm
Sun: 12:15pm – 12:45pm & 3:45pm – 4:15pm
and don’t forget to bring your camera and lawn chair. You don’t need a fancy camera to capture the action since you have a front row seat for the performance.One person we spoke to said that tomorrow's show may be their last depending on weather so don't delay.

The setting is perfect with the mountain and ocean view- The Powell River ferry can be seen at the bottom of picture

We loved the spiraling action sequences
