We are excited to have Maj. Taylor “FEMA” Hiester and the entire F-16 Viper Demo team join us in Toronto to showcase the Fighting Falcon’s capabilities. The Lockheed-Martin F-16C Fighting Falcon Block 50 model is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft.

In designing the highly maneuverable F-16, advanced aerospace science and proven reliable systems from other aircraft such as the F-15 and F-111 were selected. These were combined to simplify the airplane and reduce its size, purchase price, maintenance costs and weight. Join us at the 2026 CIAS to watch FEMA perform heart pumping aerobatic demonstrations over Lake Ontario.
