On another note, i was reading other articles about people discussing the future of the CT-114 tutors in the snowbirds. if a replacement was called for because of the information found in the investigation, what would happen to the Snowbirds? with the cutdown in numbers of CF-18's the Air force is going to retain, (i heard figures of around 85) would it not be possible to retain extras for the snowbirds? Thus giving the Snowbirds a more modern Jet, same paint sheme could be applied as the tutors, and possibly tributes on the planes to the 6 pilots that have died with the snowbirds in the past. I guess all of this will be discussed after the investigation,
