Canadair Ct-114 TutorThe Canadair CT-114 Tutor is a Canadian-built jet trainer aircraft used by the RCAF and the later unified Canadian Forces. Ordered in September 1961, the aircraft went on to serve as the Canadian Forces primary jet trainer until 2000, when it was replaced by the CT-156 Harvard II and CT-155 Hawk. The CT-114 Tutor has gained international fame for its role as an aerobatic aircraft. First serving with the Golden Centennaires in 1967, the aircraft was later selected for use by the Snowbirds, Canada's national aerobatic team. 22 Tutors continue to fly with the Canadian Forces with the Snowbirds and the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment. Modifications for the Snowbirds include: a smoke generating system, a unique paint scheme for added crowd appeal, and a highly tuned engine to enhance engine response in low level flying.
