Ed, I suspect that Ken is referring to the Confederate Air Force
vice Canadian Armed Forces. Yes?

Gord:
I suspect your right, forgot about them. They sometimes come up
here
for airshows and are enjoyed very much. Thanks to our big spending
government our CAF still fly OLD crates. Example: The Herc, the
Buffalo,
SeaKing etc. All need serious replacement before they drop out of the
skies!

Ed;

I flew an aerobatic eval flight on the Snowbirds #10 Tutor as the team's
guest at the Reading Air Show in 75. I'm not sure exactly where it is
now,
but the last I heard from some of the old Snowbird alumni, it was still
in
operation!!

Absolutely amazing!...how did you manage that dud?...they weren't
equipped with the Tutor until 1978.

Sorry Gordo, you're mistaken. I flew #10 Tutor on June 10th 1975 at the
Reading Air Show while a guest of the team for the weekend. Better check
your dates again. I'm not sure when they got the Tutors, but I can tell you
for certain that they had them when I made my flight with the team. They
also were using a T33 for support that weekend if this helps you date the
Tutor a bit closer.
