CT-114 Tutor

One of the most critical problems encountered with the early production model of the Tutor is that they were so stable that they would not spin. In a training Aircraft, where spin recovery training is essential, this was unacceptable and a solution had to be found. In the end, it was as simple as adding a 2" wide strake on either side of the nose, allowing for safe spinning and recovery without otherwise compromising the Aircraft's performance.

One of the best views of the CT-114 Tutor Aircraft. Its side by side seating makes this single-engine jet a favourite for pilot training. The Tutor, in its distinctive air show paint scheme, is also used by the Canadian Air Force Display Team - the Snowbirds.

Tutor 26015 is shown here in early 60s RCAF colours. The Aircraft is fitted with wing pylons and stores which were not ordered by the RCAF. They were bought, however, by the Malaysian Air Force which bought the Tutor for use as a counter-insurgency Aircraft. 26015 is now preserved at the RCAF Memorial Museum in Trenton, Ontario.

By means of deduction this photograph was taken somewhere over Alberta where all of these aicraft were based during a single period in service with the Canadian Armed Forces, the Tutor and T-33 operating out of CFB Cold Lake where they were used in conjunction with the fighter squadrons there, while the Hercules and Dakota were based out of CFB Edmonton in Search and Rescue and transport roles.
