“Having flown more than 2,500 hours on the CT-114 Tutor, I can say it has been an outstanding aircraft for the RCAF and for the Snowbirds.

The Tutor has served Canada for 66 years, and the team has flown it for more than five decades.

I recently had the opportunity to fly the Pilatus PC-21 in Switzerland, and I came away extremely impressed. This is not a downgrade from a jet to a turboprop; frankly, that argument misses the point entirely.”
