NEWS RELEASE
WATERLOO WARBIRDS
*************************
Throughout Canada’s military history, hundreds of thousands of Canadians have volunteered to serve their country in conflicts and peacekeeping missions around the world. Many have paid the ultimate sacrifice. On Remembrance Day, we honour their memory and service, and also pay tribute to those currently serving Canada at home and abroad.
This Thursday, Nov. 11, Waterloo Warbirds will take to the skies to honour Canada’s veterans, active service members, and their families and friends. A three-jet formation of their CT-133 Silver Star "Mako Shark", MiG-15 UTI, and de Havilland Vampire will fly over cenotaphs and cemeteries around Waterloo Region and Guelph, lifting off at approximately 10:20 a.m. and returning shortly after 11 a.m.
More information on the flight will be shared on Waterloo Warbirds’ social media channels (@waterloowarbirds on Facebook and Instagram, and @waterloowarbird on Twitter).
About Waterloo Warbirds: Waterloo Warbirds is a fully volunteer-run organization with four Cold War era fighter jets and one World War II trainer aircraft. Through passenger flight experiences and community events, their goal is to share aviation history first-hand, honour those who serve or have served in the Canadian Forces, and inspire the next generation of aviators.
