There are a LIMITED amount of tickets for the Sunday show which will go on sale Saturday at 4pm. Sources from Air Show Atlantic have advised that these tickets will only be available online.
Performances by the Red Arrows, Snowbirds and the CF-18 Demo Team are just a few of the exciting action packed air demonstrations that will be missed by not getting tickets for Sundays Air Show Atlantic production before they are gone.

The Red Arrows last visited Nova Scotia in 2019. Halifax was the first stop on their North American tour. Though the stop was just for fuel and maintenance, they conducted several practice sessions along with numerous fly pasts over the region. I did have a chance to speak with their Public Affairs Officer and also had tour surrounding the maintenance process. The Red Arrows are the aerobatic Squadron of the Royal Air Force. Nicknamed the "Reds", the team consists of 9 pilots, and 91 support staff. Until 2023, the Red Arrows had been based at RAF Scampton Air Base, but have since relocated to Royal Air Force Waddington Air Base after the closure of Scampton.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds 431 Squadron is the military's air demonstration team whose mandate is to demonstrate the skill, training and team spirit of its's members. The Squadron is based in Saskatchewan at 15 Wing CFB Moose Jaw. The Snowbirds consist of a fleet of the Tudor CT-114 aircraft. For more than 5 decades, the Snowbirds have thrilled fans with jaw dropping and heart pounding performances. They have become a true Canadian icon and the pride of a nation.

On Media Day, at the 2023 Air Show Atlantic Warbirds Over Debert, I had the chance to speak with Captain Jesse Haggart-Smith(callsign Modem) member of the 433 Tactical Fighter Squadron and is the current CF-18 Demo Pilot. The interview took place at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport where the CF-18 Demo jet and team were staging in preparation for the weekend performances.
