M2 and TH

Its what the Snowbirds have been doing for years. Their CT-114s went out of service as trainers yonks ago and yet they soldier on as mounts for the RCAF aerobatic team.

The Tutor was not a bad trainer, a bit like a Mk5 JP on streoids! It also had long legs when going X-country which is useful in a place like Canada. However, its bang seat left a lot to be desired......even compared with the Mk 4 zero/90 seat in the JP.

I wonder, what (and when) will be the Snowbirds replacement?
