The SkyHawks, the Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team, are landing in Conception Bay South this afternoon.

The SkyHawks are Canada’s only military parachute demonstration team. For over 40 years, they have performed for over 75 million spectators worldwide under their signature Canadian flag parachutes.

The Town of CBS and the SkyHawks are hosting a media day today where a handful of reporters will do a tandem jump or a ride along with the SkyHawks.

VOCM’s Ben Murphy will be doing the jump at the PAL Aviation Building on RCAF Road, at 2:00 p.m.. The Skyhawks themselves will be performing jumps at Sgt Ned Nugent’s Park rugby field in CBS at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
