Grande Prairie-raised pilot set to perform at home with the Snowbirds this summer

May 8, 2026 | 12:00 PM

There will be some local flavour when the Canadian Forces Snowbirds perform at the Grande Prairie Regional Airshow this summer.

 The Snowbirds say in a social media post that Captain Iain Muir will fly the 7 Jet, the one on the Outer Left Wing of the formation.

 He first joined the Snowbirds in 2025. 

The post says Muir was born and raised in Grande Prairie and was a member of the Air Cadets.  

Muir went on to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering at the Royal Military College. 

The airshow is set for August 1 and 2.
