Talented, experienced & passionate, our pilots volunteer their time to help us honour Canada's aviation history, make dreams come true for so many passengers & inspire the next generation of aviators. Happy #WorldPilotsDay to our 5 awesome pilots and all we share the skies with!
Our #t33 just headed up to play in the clouds! She’ll be headed towards Hamilton, so if you’re between Waterloo Region & Hamilton, keep your eyes to the skies! If you want to follow her flight path live, you can find her on any flight tracking app by searching C-FRGA.

If you’ve flown with us, seen us at an event, or follow along online, you’ve seen the great work our volunteers do. Their dedication and love of aviation are what allow us to keep history flying! We may be a bit biased, but we think they’re the best around! #NationalVolunteerWeek
Where a marshaller stands by the aircraft can make or break their effectiveness, since there are areas where the pilot can’t see them b/c the plane gets in the way. In the hangar portion of training we’re mapping out those spots on each aircraft to prep for flying season ahead.
Today our ground crew came together to review standard operating procedures for flights. Refreshing ourselves on things like the order of operations for pre-flight, marshalling & areas of concern to watch out for helps us make sure we’re ready to conduct safe flights this year!
The Easter Bunny made his way to our hangar this morning and hid some colourful eggs for our jets. Join us in an egg hunt and tell us how many you find!
We wish you all a very happy Easter full of fun with those you love. Have an egg-celent day and a wonderful long weekend!
Keep your eyes to the skies in the next 10 minutes or so because we’re flying today! Our T-33 will be up around Waterloo Region with one of our first passengers of the year. Follow our T-33’s flight path live on any flight tracker by searching C-FRGA after she takes off.
It’s been a busy week for our jets! Our T-33 went up for a shakedown flight following her annual & our Vampire had an engine run-up following hers. With warmer temperatures on their way & annual maintenance coming to an end, that can only mean one thing - flying season is coming!
We’re back in the hangar today for our final recurrent training session and today, we’re learning all about our Harvard! Built in 1942, there’s a lot of history to learn about this iconic plane. If you have any questions you want answered about our Harvard, comment below! #avgeek
On #NationalAviationDay we reflect on the impact aviation has had and continues to have on Canada and the hard work all those in the industry continue to do to support excellence in aviation. If you see someone in aviation today be sure to wish them a happy National Aviation Day!
Today, our crew and some of our Sierra Squadron supporters came together for recurrent training on our Vampire and T-33. We’ll have one more session on our Harvard coming up in the next month, so if you’d like to join us, visit waterloowarbirds.com to join our Sierra Squadron!
Did the shark see its shadow today? What do you think - are clear skies and an early flying season on their way, or will we see more flurries this winter?
#aviation#avgeek#t33#GroundhogDay
Every year, our team gets together for annual training on each of our aircraft so we’re prepped and ready for safe and successful flights in the flying season ahead. Today, we’re learning all about our L-29 and MiG-15!
#MiG15#L29#aviation#avgeek#groundcrew
Last week, our MiG had her first engine run-up after maintenance she had done last year! It was such a treat to hear the sweet sounds of her engine again and we can’t wait to see her in the air soon!

This is the yaw string! In flight the air catches the yaw string & pulls it to the top of the nose. If it runs along a white line in the middle of the nose, then the nose is pointed straight, since yaw means movement of the nose from side to side. This is also helped aim the gun!
Our top posts of 2023 show a record number of bucket list flights & sharing what we love with those around us! We’re lucky to have such a passionate community to share our love of aviation & nothing we did in 2023 would be possible without all of you! Happy 2024!
From our whole team to all of you, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! We're so lucky to be able to share what we love with our incredible community and wish you all the very best this holiday season!
#MerryChristmas#aviation#avgeek
We’re kicking off this warm winter weekend with two flights! If you’re in Waterloo Region or north Guelph, keep your eyes up and ears open this morning for our Harvard!
