RCAF celebrates 100 years at Air Show Atlantic [Video]

Air Show Atlantic took place at 14 Wing Greenwood in Greenwood, N.S., on Saturday and Sunday. This year’s event was a centennial celebration for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), which celebrated its 100th birthday on April 1.

Colin Stephenson is the director of Air Show Atlantic. He said this year’s show was a long time in the making.

Stephenson and his team attracted some special guests to this year’s show, including the Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows and the U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon demonstration.
