Corporal Eric Henry

Snowbird 10A, Technical Coordinator/Aviation Systems Technician

Although born in Midland, Ontario, and raised in Kingsville, Ontario, Corporal (Cpl) Eric Henry’s heart lives in Belleville, Ontario, where he attended Quinte Secondary School and Loyalist College.

In high school, he became interested in the Royal Canadian Air Force while watching Canadian Forces Base Trenton’s aircraft fly over his house. At the age of 15, he joined 608 Duke of Edinburgh Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron aiming to achieve a glider and power pilot’s license. He did not achieve this goal, but he did successfully follow a path of music through the organization.

Cpl Henry decided a combination of his passion of automotive mechanics and passion of aviation would be a good suit to becoming an Aviation Systems Technician. After training at Canadian Forces Base Borden, he was posted to 431 Air Demonstration Squadron in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where he has been 6 years.

Cpl Henry has travelled with the team twice in 2022 and 2023. 2025 will be Cpl Henry’s third year on the show season and his first as the team’s Technical Coordinator.
