And they flying by the seat of their pants too.

Thanks for watching Randy.

Seeing these guys and gals tomorrow vip drive in tickets!!!

Thanks for watching!

they still have technology from the 60's too as instruments very little electronics are involved. they don't even have a GPS in the cockpit. here is a link to them giving a small walk through of the plane. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNaIf5CUzaeamGQ.html

Well they are not designed for combat. Never where. Their more for recreational private flying.

Ryan Hopwood there is two version of the tutor the ct114 and the cl41 one for the snowbird and the other for training

The combat version of the Tutor is no joke. Single upgraded f404 engine gives greater than 1:1 thrust ratio. Top speed is classified but believed to be just under Mach 2. Fly by wire cockpit allows for 9g maneuvers, and up to 12 positive g loading for short durations. Six hard points can be used for latest air to air weapons, or a 2000 pound bomb load. Most modern targeting and jamming pods are fully compatible. Basically they will do anything an F15E Strike Eagle. (Mud Hen) will do. Salute the mighty Tutor!

these are training aircraft, they would never be used in war time...we would use our CF-18's or call upon our allies the USA....anyone that would ever think about attacking Canada would be their death sentence, we are the most loved and admired country in the world! think you need to educate yourself before talking bad about Canada and it's military!!

Nice!

we have 13 snowbirds, but only 9 par take in the show...

You're right. The Blue Angels have some six plane formations but mostly four with the two solos

Thanks for watching!

Actually have Blue Angels and Thunderbirds both have 6 sorry just had to correct you there. And these guys fly a CT114 tutor while the Blue Angels fly a F18 hornet and Thunderbirds fly F16 comparing them is like comparing a Ferrari to you grandpas little Prius sorry but also true. Am I saying the snowbirds are bad no their formation is top notch on most days. But stop comparing each team is great in their own way. Have a nice day.

@@taylorcooke3775 sorry to tell you, but FA-18 fighter pilots and others from around the world to come to Cold Lake, Alberta, the home of the Snowbirds, to train with our elite fighter pilots...www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/4-wing/index.page Two operational CF-18 Squadrons and two training squadrons, including Phase IV of NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC), and numerous premier support units, make 4 Wing Canada's largest and busiest fighter wing. As such, 4 Wing has some of the best and most sought after amenities in the world, including an almost unrestricted 1.17 million hectare air weapons range equipped with state-of-the-art threats and targets. It is the vast array of support facilities and amenities that make Cold Lake exercises so attractive and successful including the annual Maple Flag Exercise, which draws international participation and continues to expand each year.

@@jamesstephen7350 take a breath dude, nobody is bad mouthing anyone.

@@daveintheshed4870 what? who said anything about bad mouthing...I'm defending the original poster's opinion....and saying the tutor is like the prius...well that tutor had many different designs as well...this specific air craft the snowbirds fly are training air craft....

@@taylorcooke3775Fair enough but its a 9 plane formation compared to a 6. Canada operates the F 18 as well but the old Tutor requires exceptional skill as it does not have the control surface technology as the newer jets have obviously with a little bit of research. All great teams though !!!

umm have you ever heard of the blue angles? or the red arrows??

Actually, they do have GPS.

actually our snowbirds are more equipped than you think

They do have ejection seats.

We're all about vintage. Old school man all the way

@@karlwjm You are completely uninformed. The ejection seats currently installed on the CL 114 TUTOR are a 0/60 seat. Which means they need 60 knots of forward airspeed in order to escape sucsessfully and they did not have those parameteres. Now a days, most jets including the CF-18, have a 0\0 Martin Baker Ejection seat, Can eject from 0 knots on the ground but a 0/0 8s the only seat that could have prevented the death of Captain Casey..
