Royal Canadian Air Force Hornet Demo Team to fly at Air Day
15 December 2017
One of the world’s most dynamic and powerful solo fast jet displays becomes RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day’s first confirmed flying participant.
The Royal Canadian Air Force’s CF-18 Hornet Demonstration Team is making its first UK appearance in ten years and its first Air Day visit in decades.
Canada’s display Hornet is just part of the substantial international line-up now taking shape as discussions with various nations progress.
The twin-engined, twin-tailed Hornet is a potent modern day multirole fighter that Canada has operated since the early 1980s.

At the sharpest end of the Royal Canadian Air Force, it is a key element of the US and Canada’s NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) that celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2018 and we expect the display jet will wear a stunning paint scheme to acknowledge this milestone.
RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day looks forward to feeling the Hornet’s mighty sting once more on Saturday 7 July!
