Base des Forces canadiennes Cold Lake - Cold Lake, Alberta

Cam L.

I recently visited my brother in Cold Lake, Alberta, for the air show, and despite the wildfires causing too much smoke for the pilots to safely perform their aerial routines, we still had an incredible time. The static displays of various aircraft were nothing short of impressive.
We got up close and personal with a fascinating array of planes, including vintage warbirds, modern fighter jets, and specialized aircraft like rescue helicopters. The opportunity to go inside some of these planes and see their interiors was a highlight. It was amazing to witness the intricate details and technology that go into these flying machines.
The static displays included a variety of aircraft, from the sleek and speedy aerobatic planes with eye-catching paint jobs to the massive transport and military planes. One standout was the vintage bomber, which was an awe-inspiring sight with its sheer size and historical significance.

Another crowd favorite was the rescue helicopter, which showcased the essential role these aircraft play in search and rescue missions. The hands-on experience of climbing into the cockpits and exploring the planes added an extra layer of excitement and education to our visit.

Overall, even though the aerial performances were canceled, the Cold Lake Air Show still delivered an unforgettable experience. The chance to explore these incredible aircraft up close made the trip worthwhile. For aviation enthusiasts and families alike, this air show is a must-visit event!

100th year anniversary for Canadian Air Force. The Airshow was one of the best on earth with all modern jets. F18,F35,F22 and world war 2 era bomber. Truly amazing experience.

We were at CFB Cold Lake for the yearly airshow. This was a top notch event with incredible staff looking after the spectators. It was well worth the drive from Calgary to attend.
