I can remember in my early to mid-teens watching these perform locally. I even have some old Super 8 movies of them I wish I could get switched over to more modern video files. This aerobatic team was formed in 1959 to celebrate 50 years of aviation in Canada and thus the gold color - the color for 50th anniversaries. They lasted until early 1964 when budget cuts caught up with them and they were disbanded. If you look under the canopy you can see the name displayed above the red and white hawk logo. It wasn't until 1967 that we got a small taste of gold again when the Golden Centennaires came on the scene for Canada's centennial year. These were CT-114 Tutor jets now, painted blue and gold, and the forerunner of the Snowbirds and their brilliant red and white paint scheme displaying the colors of Canada's flag.Quote:

Sweet shots! What lens is this?
In another aviation forum he said it was a 70 - 200 f/4 Canon lens . . .
WOW excellent shots, love the shapness. That first one is a real keeper.
