Canadian Snowbirds Aerobatic Display over San Francisco's Marina Green. Witness the precise formation flying of the CT-114 Tutor Canadian Snowbirds jets, creating stunning contrails above Marina Green in San Francisco on October 11, 2025.

  Captured over Marina Green in San Francisco, California, on October 11, 2025, this image showcases the spectacular aerial artistry of the Canadian Snowbirds. A squadron of their iconic red and white CT-114 Tutor jets is seen against a pale, clear sky, executing a sophisticated formation maneuver. Nine aircraft are visible, arranged in a dynamic V-shape, with distinct white contrails streaming behind them, illustrating their flight paths and the high speeds involved in their performance. The lead aircraft is slightly ahead and higher, followed by two more pairs, and then a dense cluster forming the base of the 'V'. The Snowbirds, officially known as the 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, are the military aerobatic demonstration team of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Their displays are renowned for their synchronized precision flying and complex sequences, which thrill audiences globally. The CT-114 Tutor, a Canadian-built jet trainer, serves as the backbone of their team, allowing for the tight formations and daring maneuvers that define their shows. This particular event, an airshow in San Francisco, provided a vibrant display against the iconic backdrop of the city's bay area, though only the sky and aircraft are visible in the frame. The photograph, taken with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 and a 28-55mm lens, clearly depicts the uniform livery of the aircraft and the ephemeral beauty of the contrails. The overall impression is one of disciplined power and graceful execution, characteristic of world-class aerobatic teams. The formation demonstrates exceptional teamwork and skill, making it a memorable part of the 2025 airshow calendar in California. The absence of ground details emphasizes the vastness of the sky and the singular focus on the airborne spectacle.
