Canada Remembers Our Heroes Air Show set to take off
Jet engines will be roaring in the sky over Saskatoon this week for one of the finest tribute events to veterans in North America.
The Canada Remembers Our Heroes Air Show is expected to bring about 15,000 people to Auto Clearing Motor Speedway next weekend.
The show was created in 1995 to recognize the 50th Anniversary of the end of WWII. Each year the Royal Canadian Air Force comes up with a theme for showing off its top jets. The theme this year is The True North Strong and Free.
“There’s one jet that’s painted for the year, they select a pilot, it’s quite a process that they go through and this year it’s me,” said Captain Patrick Gobeil, a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force who spent nearly a decade of his career in Saskatchewan.
