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

431 Air Demonstration Squadron, the Snowbirds, gave their first aerial performance in 1970 in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. Since then, the team has traveled throughout North America from Inuvik, Northwest Territories to Guadalajara, Mexico. In 1995, the Snowbirds gave 80 scheduled performances in 54 different locations during the April to October air display season.

The length of the Snowbirds' performance is 25 minutes and includes 25 separate maneuvers with no more than 10 seconds between sequences.
431 Air Demonstration Squadron consists of fifteen Canadair CT-114 Tutor jet trainers, eleven of which travel with the team during the airshow season including one spare aerobatics Aircraft complete with smoke system, and one "tanker" or long-range support Tutor. Four are kept in reserve, including three spare "smokers" and one tanker. Therefore, when on the road, all spares, supplies, equipment, and public relations material must be stuffed into less storage space per Aircraft than can be found in the average small automobile, as the Snowbirds have no transport/support Aircraft assigned to them.

The Snowbirds, shown here going over the top while looping the big diamond formation, are considered one of the premier aerobatics teams in North America, if not the world. Only the Italian and English aerobatics teams fly nine Aircraft formations as the Snowbirds do.
