I came in out of the cold one day and the bezel had fogged up. Breitling can't replace the Snowbird face and offered me a traditional one so it's going to remain tainted.

I was a technician on the team back in 95-96, spent two years on the road travelling Canada and the US. It was quite the gig as back then it was a self sustained Sqn with only 11 pilots and 10 techs.

That is a wonderful watch!!
Such a classic and to have a snowbird version with your story attached to it, amazing.
