Snowbirds Grounded Until 2030 | Montreal News
Description
The Snowbirds are grounded—temporarily—after 55 years of dazzling Canadian skies with their iconic Tutor jets. The federal government has announced a hiatus until the early 2030s, when new CT-157 Siskin II aircraft will take to the air. Fans are heartbroken, but a grassroots campaign called “Keep Them Flying” is pushing for simplified shows or continued appearances during the transition. Senator Denise Batters, wearing a tribute shirt for her late husband who flew with the team, embodies the public’s deep emotional connection to the Snowbirds. As the era of the Tutors ends, the call to keep the team aloft grows louder—proving the Snowbirds aren’t just an aerobatic display, but a national heartbeat.
