Captain Brendan Pellow

Snowbird 5, Second Line Astern

Captain (Capt) Brendan Pellow was born in Richmond, British Columbia, and developed a love for aviation at a young age while flying with his Grandad. Growing up in a family immersed in aviation further fueled his passion into adulthood.

In 2009, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces through the Regular Officer Training Program and earned a Bachelor of Science in Geography from the University of Victoria.

After graduating in 2013, he was posted to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where he earned his pilot’s wings on the CT-156 Harvard II. His career then took him to Bagotville, Quebec, where he deployed in support of multiple domestic and international Operations as a member of 2 Wing, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s air expeditionary wing.

In 2019, Capt Pellow returned to Moose Jaw where he began instructing on the CT-156 Harvard II, which led to his selection as a member of the Training Detachment Team for the Future Aircrew Training Project in 2022.

In 2024, he achieved a lifelong dream when he joined the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.

In his personal life, Capt Pellow prioritizes quality time with his family, enjoys cooking and working in their garden.
