The Snowbirds entertained a crowd of thousands with their dips, dives and loop-de-loops  over Okanagan Lake on Wednesday.

Each year Kelowna hosts the spectacular air show that attracts both locals and visitors. The team of Snowbirds consists of 24 members and 11 planes. They perform all over North America. The pilots practice from November to April in order to prepare for the death defying stunts.
