I wonder about some of the old 75 team once in a while. They were a great
bunch. I remember Col O.B. Phillip and his daughter. Greg Bruneau and I
wrung the hell out of old #10 at Reading one Sunday afternoon between shows.
Moosejaw is a great ride through the plains of Saskatchewan. You can go for
miles out there without seeing a damn thing. Great country Canada, and fine
people.

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!!

Dudley:
The Snowbird Air Demonstration Team is stationed in Moose Jaw,
Saskatchewan. The Tutors that are still flying are probably all there.
They come out to 19 Wing, formally CFB Comox, each year for training. One
of the Tutors was traded for a Vampire which is now on display in one of
the
hangers on the base. They don't keep it outside with the other display
aircraft as much of the Vampire airframe is wood so they want to keep it
in
good shape. They are in the process of rebuilding a Spitfire for the air
museum also. The outside display includes a CF-100, CF-101, CF-104, T-33,
Argus, Tracker, Dakota and a Mig 21 which they got from the Czechs. Also
some choppers and others that I can't think of right now. My
brother-in-laws nephew was a pilot with the team for a couple of tours.
He
flew CF-104's and finished off on the CF-18 when he got out to fly
commercial. I'm a retired Armament Systems Tech (Radar Systems). My
browser is not working right now but if you do a search for the Snowbird
Air
Demonstation Team I'm sure you will come up with something. Also look for
19 Wing Comox or CFB Comox Air Museum.
