This Canada Day, we're celebrating the skies above us – and sharing exciting news about SkyDrive 2026.
Airshow London is thrilled to confirm that International Test Pilots School (ITPS Canada) will be joining the SkyDrive 2026 Air Display with an incredible lineup of aircraft, including the Hawker Hunter, BO-105 helicopter, and an L-39 Stallion!
Now located at London International Airport, ITPS Canada has been delivering specialized flight test training in Canada since 2001 – bringing world-class flight-test expertise right here to London, Ontario.
Together, this lineup adds jet power, helicopter agility, and local flight-test expertise to SkyDrive 2026.
HAWKER HUNTER |
|
| The Hawker Hunter is a true aviation icon and is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Modernized by ITPS Canada as a 5th Generation Surrogate Training Aircraft (5STA), this jet combines warbird heritage with advanced tactical training capability. |
|
|
Fast, powerful, and instantly recognizable in flight, the Hunter brings history, performance, and purpose to the skies over London.
BO-105 HELICOPTER |
|
| Compact, powerful, and highly maneuverable, the impressive BO-105 is an iconic light utility helicopter known for its exceptional precision handling and dynamic performance. |
|
|
Purpose-built to support the training of test pilots and flight-test engineers, the BO-105 brings a unique flight-test capability to the skies over London.
L-39 ALBATROS |
|
| Another familiar sight in the skies over London, the Aero L-39 Albatros has been upgraded with modern avionics and an ITPS-developed head-up display (HUD). |
|
|
The L-39, known by the callsign "Stallion," is used for advanced tactical training in support of NATO and Allied forces and brings even more speed, precision and purpose to SkyDrive 2026.
