The Snowbirds swooped into Southport on Friday for a pre-site winter visit.

Captain Robbie Hindle says, as a show organizer, he's responsible for making sure things run smoothly for them at the Manitoba Airshow here in July. He says we can expect an exciting show featuring high sweeping maneuvers and high speed crosses, among other things.

Hindle notes things are looking great at Southport, and it's a great facility for the show this summer.

He adds Southport was the team's last stop on a two-and-a-half week journey across North America.
