Message From Our Command Team

On behalf of 4 Wing and Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the Cold Lake Air Show and to our community. Whether you are joining us from nearby or travelling from afar, we are honoured to have you here and grateful that you have chosen to spend this time with us. Cold Lake is a community that understands aviation. For generations, the sound of aircraft overhead has been part of daily life, and the strong bond between the base and the city continues to shape who we are. The Cold Lake Air Show reflects that relationship by bringing together residents, military members, families, and aviation enthusiasts in a shared celebration of skill and service. Together with the City of Cold Lake, our community partners, and our valued sponsors, we are proud to open our base and showcase the professionalism and dedication of the Canadian Armed Forces, alongside exceptional civilian performers. Each air show gives us an opportunity to connect with the community, to welcome guests onto the base, and to share the people and capabilities that make Cold Lake a global centre for aviation excellence. We are also proud of the growing reputation of the Cold Lake Air Show on the international stage. Recognition from the International Council of Air Shows, including the Dick Schram Memorial Community Relations Award, underscores what this event truly represents: cooperation, leadership, and a shared commitment to community. The Cold Lake Air Show is designed to be enjoyed by everyone. From impressive aerial displays and historic aircraft to static exhibits, family activities, and opportunities to meet the people behind the uniforms, there is something here for all ages. Most importantly, the air show remains a way for us to give back. Proceeds from this event directly support our military community, the members who serve and the families who support them every day. As you enjoy all that the air show and the City of Cold Lake have to offer, we hope you experience the sense of pride, hospitality, and partnership that defines this community. Thank you for being part of this special event and for helping us continue a tradition that brings people together and creates lasting memories. We wish you a safe, enjoyable, and memorable Cold Lake Air Show.

Message From Our Mayor of Cold Lake

Welcome to all attendees of the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show, hosted by our valued friends at 4 Wing Cold Lake. The City of Cold Lake is proud to support the Air Show, an event which fosters a great sense of pride in our beautiful community, our amazing province, and the country we all call home. As Cold Lakers, we revel in the chance not only to take in this wonderful display of aviation, but also in the opportunity to share the event with everyone who visits.

Bob Mattice Mayor City of Cold Lake

The men and women stationed at 4 Wing Cold Lake are our neighbours, friends, and family members. We are very proud of the work they do, and we are well aware of the dedication they bring to their jobs. It is something that we are fortunate to be able to see each day here in Cold Lake: All we have to do is look up. And that makes the Cold Lake Air Show all the more special for us. We know that you will be amazed by the aviation technology on display, and the capabilities that these amazing machines possess. But what is most impressive is the skill, passion, and sense of duty that the men and women of the Royal Canadian Air Force bring to their work each and every day. Experiencing this firsthand stays with you. It fills you with a deep sense of pride and a profound respect for the work they do. This event will be a spectacular display of the tremendous skill within the Royal Canadian Air Force, as well as the best of civilian aviation and, of course, our northeast Alberta hospitality. I look forward to seeing everyone at the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show, and I join all residents of our city in thanking the members of 4 Wing Cold Lake for making our community, and our country, a safe and amazing place to live. I wish all the attendees a memorable Cold Lake Air Show, and a great stay in our beautiful city.

Message From Our ML A

As the MLA for Bonnyville–Cold Lake–St. Paul, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show. The Cold Lake Air Show is one of Canada’s premier air shows, celebrating the strong connection between 4 Wing Cold Lake and the surrounding region. Hosting an event of this scale is a reflection of the strength and pride of our communities and their enduring support for those who serve. This year’s show features the United States Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team, alongside the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, a CF-18 Tactical Demonstration, and many other talented performers. From the roar of jet engines overhead to the precision of the SkyHawks parachute team descending across the skyline, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Beyond the flying, there is plenty to take in—from up-close static aircraft displays to the Full Throttle Festival, the Classic Car Show, great local food, and activities for the whole family. These experiences are made possible by the dedicated organizers, volunteers, and sponsors who bring this event to life year after year. Enjoy the show, and may it leave you with lasting memories of our northeastern Alberta skies.

Scott Cyr, MLA Bonnyville–Cold Lake–St. Paul

It is my great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show, proudly hosted by 4 Wing Cold Lake.

This year’s show continues a proud tradition of celebrating the strong connection between 4 Wing Cold Lake and the surrounding communities, a unique partnership built on support, service, and shared pride. The Cold Lake Air Show is not only an opportunity to witness incredible aviation excellence, but also a chance to recognize the dedication of the military members and their families who serve our country each and every day. We are especially excited to welcome the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds as part of this year’s spectacular lineup, along with many more thrilling aerial performances and displays that promise to inspire audiences of all ages. The dazzling demonstrations you are about to experience are a testament to the professionalism, skill, and commitment of the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, particularly those who serve right here at Canada’s busiest fighter base.

Laila Goodridge, M.P. Fort McMurray-Cold Lake

The members of 4 Wing Cold Lake serve with honour, integrity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to protecting the values and freedoms that make Canada such an extraordinary place to call home. I am incredibly proud to serve as their Member of Parliament, it is an honour of a lifetime. If you happen to see me on the grounds during the air show, please come say hello. While you are here, I also encourage you to take time to experience all that the Cold Lake region has to offer. From beautiful lakes and scenic hiking trails to local museums, galleries, libraries, restaurants, and attractions, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for joining us for the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show. We are thrilled to have you here, and we hope you enjoy an unforgettable weekend of aviation, community, and celebration.

Message From Our Lieutenant Governor of Alberta

As His Majesty the King’s representative in Alberta, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show. For more than 70 years, CFB Cold Lake has brought together members of the military, their families, aviation enthusiasts and local residents to appreciate the skill and dedication of the service members who make this community their home. The Cold Lake Air Show proudly showcases that tradition. Few sights are more thrilling than an air show. No matter one’s age, it is stirring to see such large and complex machines being operated with such improbable grace. It is hardly surprising that the Cold Lake Air Show, one of the best events of its kind in the world, regularly attracts visitors from far and wide. But the Air Show is also a way for us to celebrate the less spectacular but equally vital aspects of military service: professionalism, expertise and respect for one’s community. As Alberta’s vice-regal representative, I thank all the organizers, sponsors and volunteers who have made this wonderful event possible. I offer my best wishes to one and all for an enjoyable time in Cold Lake!

Her Honour, the Honourable Salma Lakhani, AOE, BSc., LLD (hon) Lieutenant Governor of Alberta

Could the CAF Be Your Next Adventure?

For many visitors attending the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show, the excitement begins in the sky. From high-speed demonstrations to meeting military personnel on the ground, the event offers Canadians a closeup look at the capabilities and professionalism of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). But beyond the aircraft and displays, the air show also gives people a chance to ask an important question: what is life actually like in the military?

According to the official CAF recruiting website, there are more than 100 full-time and part-time career options available across the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and Royal Canadian Air Force. While the Canadian Armed Forces offers careers in everything from aviation and engineering to health care, administration, logistics, and information technology, every member of the CAF is first and foremost a military member. Regardless of trade or occupation, personnel receive military training, develop core combat and field skills, and must be

prepared to operate in challenging or deployed environments if called upon.

The CAF offers two main ways to serve. Regular Force members work full-time, while Reserve Force members typically serve part-time close to home while balancing civilian careers or education. Reservists often train evenings and weekends and can volunteer for operations when opportunities arise. For many Canadians considering service, education and training opportunities are also a major draw. The CAF provides paid training for many occupations, and some programs offer subsidized or fully paid post-secondary education in exchange for service commitments. Members also receive competitive salaries, health and dental benefits, pension plans, and opportunities for advancement. Life in the military can also offer experiences difficult to find elsewhere.

(continued from previous page) The CAF highlights opportunities to travel, work internationally, develop leadership skills early in a career, and take on responsibilities that many civilians would not encounter until much later in life. Of course, joining the military comes with challenges as well. Every CAF member must complete Basic Military Qualification training, often referred to as basic training or BMQ. The current program for Regular Force members is approximately nine weeks long and takes place at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. Training focuses on physical fitness, teamwork, leadership, resilience, first aid, military skills, and professional conduct. While popular culture often portrays basic training as intimidating, the CAF says the goal is to prepare and mentor recruits rather than “break” them. Training staff work to help candidates transition from civilian life into a military environment while building confidence and teamwork skills along the way. Military life also extends far beyond work and training. Bases and wings across Canada offer recreational sports, fitness programs, clubs, family support services, and community activities. According to the CAF, sports and recreation are strongly encouraged because they help develop teamwork, leadership, discipline, and esprit de corps.

For younger Canadians, military service can also begin before a fulltime career. Programs such as the Primary Reserve, Royal Canadian Air Cadets, and various summer employment opportunities provide ways to gain experience and explore military life early on. The CAF recruiting process itself involves several steps, including submitting an application, completing aptitude and medical testing, interviews, and background screening. Applicants are encouraged to prepare documents such as identification, school transcripts, and employment history before beginning the process. At events like the Cold Lake Air Show, serving members are often available to answer questions directly from the public. For many attendees, those conversations can provide a clearer understanding of what military life is really like beyond the uniform.

The aircraft may have changed since the 1950s, but the look of wonder on a child’s face when they see a jet for the first time remains timeless. From past generations to today, aviation has a unique ability to inspire curiosity and imagination. That spirit lives on in the 2026 Cold Lake Air Show, where our expanded Kids’ Zone will feature hands-on STEM activities and interactive exhibits designed to spark the dreams of future pilots, engineers, and explorers. The magic of aviation is still being passed from one generation to the next.

The roots of the Cold Lake Air Show can be traced back to the earliest years of Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, when public flying displays were held as part of Air Force Day and Armed Forces Day celebrations. These open houses allowed visitors to explore the base, meet military personnel, and see Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft up close. The earliest known reference to an air show at Cold Lake dates back to 1958, only a few years after the base was established. In 1993, the event evolved into the first Cold Lake International Air Show, marking the beginning of the modern era with international performers, expanded programming, and the large-scale aviation spectacle that continues today.

2026 Calendar February

This black-and-white aerial view captures RCAF Station Cold Lake during Armed Forces Day, a tradition that began in the late 1950s to connect the community with the Canadian Armed Forces. What started as an open-house celebration of service and aviation has evolved into the Cold Lake Air Show. The 2026 event carries that same spirit forward, welcoming thousands of visitors onto the base to experience world-class flying and the dedication of the people who make it possible.

The Boeing B-52H Stratofortress is a long-range heavy bomber capable of carrying both nuclear and precision-guided conventional weapons. Powered by eight Pratt & Whitney TF33 turbofan engines, the aircraft can fly at high subsonic speeds at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and has served as a cornerstone of United States Air Force strategic operations for decades. During Operation Desert Storm, B-52 crews delivered approximately 40 percent of all weapons dropped by coalition forces, while the aircraft has also proven highly effective in maritime surveillance, anti-ship operations, and mine-laying missions.

The North American B-25 Mitchell is widely regarded as one of the most successful medium bombers of the Second World War. Known for its versatility, durability, and excellent handling characteristics, the aircraft served in every major theatre of the conflict and became the most widely used medium bomber operated by the United States Army Air Forces. A total of 9,816 Mitchells were built, the largest production run of any twin-engine bomber in American history, and the aircraft gained fame for missions ranging from strategic bombing to low-level strafing attacks against enemy shipping.

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest and heaviest single-engine American fighter of the Second World War and earned a reputation for exceptional durability and firepower. Armed with eight .50-calibre machine guns, the aircraft excelled as both a bomber escort and ground attack fighter, often returning safely despite sustaining extensive combat damage. More than 15,000 Thunderbolts were produced during the war, and the aircraft served in every major theatre, where its speed, rugged construction, and versatility made it one of the most effective fighter-bombers of the conflict.

with CAE Inc. came to an end and the CT-155 Hawk fleet was retired. As part of the overall transition to the F-35, the RCAF is transitioning to the Bridge Fighter Lead-In Training (BFLIT) program, which will see Canadian fighter pilots conduct their lead-in training in the United States, Finland, and Italy until the 2030s. However, 419 Squadron will remain administratively active and will reactivate in the future with a new next-generation trainer aircraft and repatriate fighter training to Canada.

Among the aircrew, 194 service awards were distributed; perhaps most notably, Pilot Officer Andrew Mynarski became one of only 16 Canadians to receive the Victoria Cross during World War II. In July 2000, 419 Squadron was reformed for the third time in Cold Lake. The squadron conducted advanced fighter lead-in training for Canadian and NATO pilots, flying the CT-155 Hawk. On March 8th, 2024, 419 Squadron formally ceased operations as the NATO Flying Training Canada (NFTC) contract

No. 419 Bomber Squadron was formed at RAF Mildenhall, England on 15 December 1941 as part of No. 3 Group, Bomber Command, under the first commanding officer of the squadron – Wing Commander John “Moose” Fulton. The squadron was transferred to various bases between 1941 and 1943, finally relocating to Middleton St. George, where it remained until 1945. As a result of its wartime record, 419 Squadron became one of the most decorated units of the RCAF during World War II.

Undaunted Airshows is a veteran-led, twoship aerobatic formation team from the Pacific Northwest featuring pilots Stephen “Christo” Christopher and Todd “Woody” Rudberg. Flying Van’s Aircraft RV-series sport planes, the pair performs a dynamic routine inspired by military formation flying, including lead work, wing work, pursuits, rejoins, and head-to-head passes. Known for their precision flying and highenergy demonstrations, both pilots have accumulated more than 2,500 flight hours and are dedicated to promoting aviation through fan engagement, STEM activities, and interactive experiences.

Undaunted Airshows

continues to evolve with the role of the fighter force. The unit is responsible for providing a wide range of technical support services from numerous locations on the base and Cold Lake Air Weapons Range. It is one of the largest squadrons at 4 Wing employing just under 500 personnel.

Gregory “Wired” Colyer, founder and lead pilot of Ace Maker Airshows, performs in a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, America’s first operational jet trainer. A pilot with more than four decades of aviation experience, Colyer holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate and has accumulated more than 1,000 flight hours in the T-33 alone. His performances showcase the aircraft’s speed, grace, and historic legacy through precision aerobatics and dynamic jet manoeuvres.
