Snowbirds flying the Canadair Tutor c.2005.
A Canadair CT-114 Tutor of [No. 2] Canadian Forces Flying Training School at CFB Moose Jaw and the old Moose Jaw control tower in the spring of 1982.
In the early 1960s the Royal Canadian Air Force’s standard elementary training aircraft was the de Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk. Flight instruction was then completed by student pilots on the DHC-1 before they progressed to the then-brand-new Canadair CT-114 Tutor jet trainer. It was considered easy enough to fly with out a earlier initial trainer, but student airmen disagreed, so the Beechcraft CT-134 Musketeer was built.
It is currently still used by the Canadian Air Forces' Snowbirds aerobatics team.
