Canadair CT-114 Tutor - Fort McMurray, Alberta - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

CAF 036 is a Canadair CT-114 Tutor mounted on a pole along Snowbird Way, the road leading to the new (2014) airport terminal building at CYMM (Fort McMurray International). It is painted in the colours used by the The Canadian Forces (CF) Snowbirds 431 Air Demonstration Squadron.

"The Tutor was originally procured in the mid-1960s to train student pilots. It was replaced in 2000 by the CT-156 Harvard II and CT-155 Hawk. Today, the Tutor is flown primarily by 431 Squadron’s Snowbirds. The Tutors flown by the Snowbirds are slightly modified from the training version. In addition to show features, the modified version has a more highly-tuned engine to enhance performance during low-level aerobatic flying."
