Military Parachute Team Performs at Canada Day Celebration in Ottawa

The SkyHawks, Canada’s only military parachute team, returned to Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa after a hiatus due to COVID-19.

In an official statement, the SkyHawks Team announced it was doing a return performance after canceling the show in 2021 because of COVID-19 precautions.

“The team is eager to resume its performance as this year will be a very special one. It will be a landmark year as they celebrate 50 years of performances,” the statement said.

This video posted to Twitter by Shahrazad Kablan shows a performer gliding down and sticking a “beautiful landing,” according to the announcer.
