Before the Snowbirds, the Golden Hawks ruled the skies. Formed in 1959 for the RCAF's 35th anniversary, they flew frontline F-86 Sabre jets—not trainers. Their striking gold-and-red paint scheme and daring low-level shows made them legends. Their controversial disbandment in 1964 was met with public outcry, solidifying their place as one of Canada's most revered air teams. #Canada #GoldenHawks #RCAF #Aviation
