Almost Show Time
(Republished from the 14 July 1982 issue of The Voxair)
Corporal John McCanna, 27, a native of Renfrew, Ont., uses a little ‘elbow grease”’ to clean the windscreen of a Tutor jet aircraft used by the Snowbirds, the Canadian Forces’ aerobatic display team. The team’s 11 pilots and 11 technicians and their aircraft will be in Winnipeg to participate in the Air Command Colours Presentation. More than 5-million people in Canada and the U.S. will see the Snowbirds perform at approximately 65 airshows this year. CPL McCanna, who joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1978, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken McCanna of (338 Barnet Blvd.) Renfrew. (CANADIAN FORCES PHOTO by SGT V. Tunstead)
