Due to severe budget cutbacks, the 217th Canadian Flying Squadron has been left without planes! Determined to fly at any cost, the flyers continue their regimented training in an imaginary terrestrial airfield. The flyers have paraded their hilarious maneuvers, choreographed down to the millimeter, to audiences around the world.
