Original Toronto Star caption: Snowbirds roar over metro. Capt. Wes MacKay banks his Canadian Forces Tutor jet over downtown Toronto yesterday in a practice run before he and fellow Snowbirds perform today at the CNE. Canada's crack aerobatics team will make no changes in their thrilling performance despite Sunday's West German air show crash that killed 49 and injured 500.
