The CF-18 Demonstration Team was the flight demonstration team of Royal Canadian Air Force's 1 Canadian Air Division. The team flew the McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet fighter aircraft at airshows internationally to showcase air combat manoeuvring.[2] The team consisted of a demonstration pilot, three safety pilots, eight technicians (two teams of four, each servicing demonstrations on either the east or west sides of the country), a public affairs officer.[3] The livery design of the team changed every year to highlight new military milestones or ideas. The team's members were selected from all divisions of the RCAF.[3] The team's 2024 demonstration pilot was Captain Caleb "Tango" Robert.[4]
On November 22nd, 2024, the RCAF stated that the CF-18 Demonstration Team would not be making a return in the following years due to the new air modernization initiative, instead choosing to fly regular CF-18 aircraft at certain airshows in Canada.[5]
