California International Airshow in Salinas, California is one of the best shows in the country. 2005 marked the show's 25th anniversary with a great line-up of performers.

Shot on location at the Abbotsford International Airshow, BC, Canada, this video gives the viewer a sense of riding along with the nine plane team. Micro-cams were mounted inside and outside the Snowbird's jet aircraft, providing the pilot's perspective during flight. The incredible precision of the 9 jets is breathtaking. During the filming of these performances, the Snowbirds where using red and white smoke, creating a striking visual effect. The best overall description of the Snowbirds experience is "Showmanship". Enjoy the precision and grace of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.
