History
The first official aerobatic display team of the Royal
Canadian Air Force were the "Siskins". They were formed in 1929 in
connection with celebrations marking of 10th anniversary of the first
successful non-stop trans-Atlantic flight accomplished by Alcock and
Brown in a twin-engine Vickers Vimy airplane. The team was composed of 3
biplane fighters, Armstrong - Whitworth Siskin IIIAs, and the team
performed displays until 1932.
