Campbell River is welcoming back the SkyHawks for a sky diving showcase on July 14.
The Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team, the SkyHawks, are Canada’s only military parachute demonstration team. The team comprises 13 demonstrators from the Canadian Army, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Royal Canadian Air Force. This includes both Regular Force and Reserve members with diverse professional backgrounds. In addition to the 13 demonstrators, the SkyHawks have four team members on their ground crew: an imagery technician, a public affairs office and narrator, an administrative officer and a drop zone controller.
The SkyHawks’ thrilling performance will include daring manoeuvres and requires a high level of skill, teamwork, and physical fitness. The whole community is invited to watch a spectacular show, and the team will be available to chat, sign autographs, take photos and learn about the parachutes and gear.
The event will be at Willow Point Park at 12:30 p.m.
