Eyes will be to the skies this afternoon in Niagara. 

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be stopping in Hamilton today, before taking off and doing a handful of fly-bys of Niagara Falls starting at 2:30pm. 

They won't be alone, either. The Canadian Warplane Museum's iconic Lancaster and B-25 Mitchell will also be flying alongside them. 

The six-decade-old CT-114 Tutor jets are being retired after this season, and the team will be grounded until replacement aircraft arrive in the early 2030s.
