“This is our 15th year flying as a team, so we’ve been flying together for a very long time,” Fowler said. “That’s why we’ve had the opportunity to go to so many places throughout North America.”

The pair is certain to give spectators their money’s worth as they perform a multitude of tricks that include dual-barrel rolls, flips and even putting the canopies of each plane nearly together and flying in complete unison.

“A very high energy act is kind of what I think of when I see them, really tight maneuvering, really fast and really exciting,” Sarah van Gilst with Wings Over Springbank Airshow said.
