Snowbirds Retire Tutor Jets, Welcome New Siskin II

from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are retiring their CT-114 Tutor jets after decades of service, making way for the new CT-157 Siskin II fleet. This transition is part of a $9.4 billion investment in military aviation training, aiming to modernize RCAF training. The Snowbirds performances will be on hold until the new planes are fully integrated, with other RCAF groups handling airshow duties. The Snowbirds final Tutor season begins at the Montreal Grand Prix later this month. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
