*UPDATE: I updated the video with the latest unfortunate fallen snowbird Shawn McCaughey. Died doing what he loved and did best!!.
Video i made in memory of the snowbirds that have died. I've always been an admirer of the entire snowbird team.
I chose this video to upload on my page because of several reasons.
One being standing on the ground watching these guys, you just don't get the true feel of how close they fly together.
Two being that it is in rememberance of the Snowbird pilots that have died being part of this team.
Three being that I thought it was a beautiful song that Patrick chose to use in his video.
And the Snowbird precision team do this, travelling around from air show to air show just so we get a thrill watching them. And they are amazing to watch.

Hush - The silence lingers still
White clouds brush the distant hill
The Snowbirds flown on silent wings
Far from earth bound, tugging strings
Hush - there lies but one man sleeping
A date with his Maker he is keeping
Though once he raced across the sky, in flight
Radiant, as a star at night
Hush - he was an airman bold
Who saw the sunset turning gold
Who soared with grace across this land
A brave man in a brave man's band
No more in danger shall he tread
No more the sunsets turning red
Though high above our prairie fleece
We know his soul will find its peace
Hush - The Snowbird's taken flight
Into the great beyond of night
To join his comrades, in the wing
Which flies just for our Heavenly King
(poem at the end of the video)
