Fireballs

History

The "Fireballs" were yet another European-based aerobatic display team from the Royal Canadian Air Force. The team was first created in 1954 and with its distinctive all-red F-86 Sabre aircraft participated in various shows in Europe. The team's paint scheme lasted for a very short period only, as a superior officer eventually decided that people might mistake the team for being "Communist" and ordered the red paint stripped off.
