SkyHawks

The Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team, the SkyHawks, is Canada's only military parachute demonstration team. For more than fifty years, they have represented Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces in front of more than 75 million spectators from around the world, carried by their characteristic parachutes in the image of the Canadian flag.

By bringing their parachutes together, the SkyHawks build formations in the sky and put on a breathtaking spectacle. Performing these high-flying formations, called canopy relative work, requires exceptional control and composure.

Supported by the Canadian Army, the SkyHawks are based in Trenton, Ontario, at the Canadian Army Advanced Training Center, where they train alongside soldiers who defend our territory and sovereignty in various missions at home and abroad. The members of the team come from both the Regular Force and the Reserve and they exercise various professions within the Army, Navy and Air Force. Thus, their services benefit from the wealth of their experiences.

It is with great pride that the SkyHawks continue to showcase the professionalism, dedication and teamwork required to be part of the Canadian Armed Forces.
