We were proud to be part of the military funeral for Second World War Ace James "Stocky" Edwards who passed away recently at 100 years old. Here's a glimpse of our goodbye to the top fighter pilot of the Western Desert Campaign.
It was with great sadness that we learned that Second World War fighter pilot ace, Wing Commander James Francis “Stocky” Edwards, passed away on Saturday, May 14th. Stocky Edwards was 100 years old.
Jenn - you left us two years ago today, but your passion, your determination and the energy you brought to our mission powers us every day. We miss you, and we will remember you.

You’ve waited long enough. We are happy to unveil the 2022 #CF18DEMO Team jet. The operational grey colour palette reinforces this year's theme -“Fighter Operations at Home and Abroad,” while the geometric pattern is a reference to the wings of the CF-18’s namesake - the hornet.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! @CouteauDelta have announced their return for 2022!
