When
the Snowbirds, Canada's world famous aerial acrobatic team, perform high above
the clouds, their Canadair CT-114 Tutors are put through their paces.
The Tutor, a Canadian-designed and -produced single-engine subsonic jet trainer
that entered service in the mid-1960s, was used for basic and advanced pilot
training until it was replaced by the CT-156 Harvard II and CT-155 Hawk in
2000.
Since
it was retired from the training role in 2000, the two operators of the Tutor
have been 431 Air Demonstration Squadron - The Snowbirds and the Aerospace
Engineering Test Establishment. Both units will continue to fly the nimble
Tutors for the foreseeable future.
