Flight of the Snowbird - David Foster


David Foster is a self-titled solo album by David Foster, released in 1986. The album is mainly instrumental with two duet-style songs featuring rare vocals from Foster himself. This work led to Foster receiving the Juno Award for "Instrumental Artist of the Year" in 1986 and 1987, and a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Pop Instrumental Performance" in 1986. Co-producer Humberto Gatica was also nominated for a Grammy Award in 1986 for "Best Engineered Recording" for this album.

The third track "Flight of the Snowbirds" is inspired by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds aerobatic flying team. Foster was subsequently made an honorary member of the Snowbirds
