As President of the Bagotville International Air Show (SAIB) 2017, I am pleased to welcome you to the official Web site of the event.

The SAIB is known and recognized as the largest military air show in North America, and the 2017 edition promises to be the most spectacular and colourful edition yet—and the place to fill up on adrenaline!

The organizing committee is accustomed to hosting bold and original shows and is already working to present an improved, more festive event. The decision to hold the show on the weekend of June 24 and 25, one of the high points of the year was no coincidence. Indeed, the Quebec national holiday combined with the 75th anniversary of Canadian Forces Base Bagotville and the 50th anniversary of the civilian terminal will make a terrific backdrop for a memorable weekend filled with emotion.

Every edition of the SAIB is a fantastic opportunity for us to open Canadian Forces Base Bagotville to the public. In the show’s two days, it is always with pride that we offer you a glimpse of our day-to-day work and the Royal Canadian Air Force’s capabilities.

I encourage you to visit the Web site regularly so you can follow the development of the program in real time and discover what’s new in the upcoming edition of the show.

I look forward to welcoming you on June 24 and 25 for the 2017 edition of the SAIB!
