Canada’s Snowbirds perform final show in CT-114 Tutors before multi-year hiatus

Canada's Snowbirds concluded their aerobatic displays with a final performance on October 16th at CFB Moose Jaw, piloting their iconic Canadair CT-114 Tutors. This marks the end of an era for the team as Ottawa plans to transition away from these aging aircraft. The air force is actively pursuing new Pilatus PC-21 turboprops, aiming for deployment by 2030. This multi-year hiatus will allow for the necessary infrastructure changes and integration of the advanced new jets. The Snowbird’s legacy of aerial demonstrations will continue as they await the arrival of this next generation of aircraft.
