Vernon, British Columbia, has an outsized population of highly experienced retired professional pilots of a variety of stripes who operate nimble Van’s RV products, so the Snowflake Formation Team was pretty much inevitable. The troupe’s tight formations are a common sight at special events all over B.C.’s Okanagan Valley.

  1. Nice Russ. Pretty good formation. I follow most of your posts. I do live on the other side of Canada though. Looked like the wind was a little rough for formation.

  2. Good formation. We use Warriors/Archers here in Melbourne Australia. Love formation take-off but streamer landing ???

  3. It seems that it’s Immoral, Illegal, or (heaven forbid) fattening to me that those guys can have so much fun while the rest of us are sitting in our cabins waiting for our G.S.T. rebate cheques. Is there no fairness?
