Nine days before the 2019 Edmonton Airshow was scheduled to take flight, organizers have cancelled the event, citing soggy conditions at the site where it was to be held.

Edmontonians will be treated to a special arrival flyby Thursday afternoon by the Snowbirds. The aerial demo team will be in town after being invited by the Edmonton Airshow for this year's program.

As a way to mark Canada's 150th birthday, the Snowbirds will fly over Edmonton in full formation for the first time in 15 years.
