‘Goodbye to a Good Friend’: Snowbirds’ Final Show to Be Livestreamed Today
The farewell performance will stream live as the team closes its final season with the CT-114 Tutor before switching to a new aircraft.
- On Friday, Oct. 16, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds will perform their final CT-114 Tutor air show at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, with the public invited to watch the private farewell via livestream starting at noon local time.
- The iconic CT-114 Tutor jets, which have served the Royal Canadian Air Force for 63 years, are retiring after this season. Commanding Officer Paquet of 431 Squadron noted the aging aircraft 'has earned its rest.'
- Friday's performance coincides with the Snowbirds Alumni Association's 55th Legacy Reunion, scheduled Oct. 15–18 in Moose Jaw, bringing together more than 500 former team members to honor 55 years of inspiring Canadians.
- "This is not the end of the Snowbirds, but it's the end of the Tutor," said Paquet, noting the team will complete one final fly-over in the jets next month at the Grey Cup in Calgary.
- The federal government plans to replace the fleet with the Swiss-made CT-157 Siskin II, which is expected to become operational in the early 2030s after a multi-year hiatus.
