"Gord Beaman" Absolutely amazing!...how did you manage that dud?...they weren't equipped with the Tutor until 1978. Gord: The first jet RCAF demonstration team was the Blue Devils flying the Vampire (1949-51) RCAF No. 1 Air Division in Europe were called the Sky Lancers flying Sabres Back in Canada the Golden Hawks formed flying the F-86 Sabre 1959. This air demonstration team disbanded and was resurrected as the Golden Centennaires for Canada's Centenial Year in 1967 They flew Tutor jet trainers. They reformed in 1970 at CFB Moose Jaw as the Snow Birds Air Demonstration Team 431 Squadron also flying Tutor jets to this day. During WWII 431 was a bomber squadron flying Wellingtons, Halifax and Lancasters 1942 - 1945. 431 Squadron was reformed in January 1954 as an interim F-86 Squadron awaiting production of the CF-100. It was disbanded in Oct 1954. Reformed in Moose Jaw in 1970 becoming the Snow Birds Air Demonstration Team in 1971. Hope I have the dates right! Ed |
