Starting in June, up to 15 different aerial acts will take to the skies above every Canadian community north of the 60th parallel — from Kuujjuarapik on the northern shores of Hudson Bay to the military outpost at Alert, the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world.
In some communities, it's not possible or practical to land. So pilots will do what they call a "wheels up" show, where they fly in, perform above the community, then move on.
The only jet aircraft taking part is this Canadian Armed Forces CF-18 fighter painted in Canada 150 colours. It will be at five of the northern shows.
Coming this summer: An air show over every northern Canadian community

Well it will be a good test of our far North SAR capabilities if a Harvard breaks down over Baffin Island.
