Photo Report :   

A tour of CFB Moose Jaw, home of the Snowbirds.



Although still based at CFB Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, the Snowbirds recently moved their offices, etc. to a new building on the base. Presented here are a series of photos which will take you on a "virtual tour" of their new home.

As you will see, the premises are filled with momentos, trophies and history of not only the Snowbirds themselves, but also of 431 Squadron and also other Canadian aerobatic teams, notably the Golden Hawks and Golden Centennaires, as well as the Red Knight.

All of these photos were taken by and are © Tony Edmundson, May 2001. Tony is one of our SIG members and also served with the Snowbirds as #3A during the 1990 & 91 seasons.
