Canadian Forces Joint Force Demo

Experience the intensity of a modern battlefield as the Canadian Armed Forces bring a thrilling Joint Force Demonstration to the Abbotsford International Airshow.

This immersive scenario will showcase how Canada’s military integrates air and ground assets during close combat operations. Watch as ground troops engage a simulated enemy force while artillery, CH-146 Griffon helicopters, and CF-18 Hornets work together to provide reconnaissance, mobility, and close air support in a fast-paced, coordinated mission.

From the thunder of artillery to the roar of fighter jets streaking overhead, every element of the demonstration highlights the planning, communication, and split-second decision-making required for success in complex operational environments. The result is an unforgettable display that combines explosive action with a deeper understanding of how Canada’s Army and Royal Canadian Air Force operate as a unified team.

Far more than an aerial performance, the Joint Force Demonstration offers spectators a rare opportunity to witness the capabilities, professionalism, and interoperability of the Canadian Armed Forces in a realistic and engaging simulation.

Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast, military history buff, or first-time visitor, this is one performance you won’t want to miss.
