REGINA, Sask. — The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are planning another flyover of Regina on Monday, Nov. 9, following a practice flight.
The team says the formation is expected to pass over Wascana Lake, the Saskatchewan Legislative Building and Regina International Airport at approximately 11:30 a.m.
The Snowbirds say the aircraft will remain at least 500 feet above the highest point along the route. However, the timing and flight path could change without notice.
Residents can follow the formation by searching the call sign SNBD1 on flight-tracking apps and websites.
The flyover comes after the team cancelled its original plan to visit Regina on Nov. 5, citing unforeseen circumstances.
It also comes during the final season for the Snowbirds' Canadair CT-114 Tutor jets, which have been part of the team's performances for decades.
The team is preparing for a lengthy transition to new CT-157 Siskin II aircraft, with performances expected to pause for about five years while the replacement fleet is brought into service. The Snowbirds are also scheduled to make an appearance at the Grey Cup in Calgary on Nov. 15.
Monday's planned pass offers Regina residents another opportunity to see the familiar jets before the team moves into its next chapter.
