Fun Fact: The Cold Lake Air Show takes place on Canada’s busiest fighter base ✈️

This means every air show we host is built around real-life aviation, real training environments, and real aircraft. It’s one of the reasons the CLAS is one of the greatest Air Show’s in Canada, and it’s in your area! If you haven't had the chance to come see us, don't miss out in 2026.
