  • Canadian T – The “Canadian T” is the formation we use to open the show during the 2022 season.
  • Candy Cane – Over the years we've heard lots of positive reviews of this colourful demonstration, so it is back this year – we call it the “Candy Cane”!
  • Three-stack drag – You are seeing that right, the third SkyHawk is completely upside-down! This formation needs to maintain significant forward speed to ensure that upside-down canopy remains inflated!
