The Snowbirds have officially landed a spot at Peach Fest, with an announcement made Tuesday morning, two months after Castanet first reported it.
"It's just an incredible way to kick off the 70th anniversary of Peach Fest," said the festival's president Don Kendall.
Kendall says the return of the Snowbirds will be bringing some friends along for the ride – he's "90 per cent sure" that the SkyHawks parachute team will be joining the 'Birds.
"We're on their tentative schedule, but their schedule hasn't been approved, yet, by the military," Kendall said. "We're expecting to hear any day about the SkyHawks."
While the Snowbirds have flown for Peach Fest in the past, this year will be the first for the SkyHawks, and it will also be the first year they bring the CF-18 show.
"That'll be exciting. Apparently it puts on quite a show," Kendall said.
On top of the air show, Kendall says there's much to look forward to on opening day, including headliners 54-40.
