The CT-114 Tutor has gained international fame for its role as an aerobatic aircraft. First serving with the Golden Centennaires in 1967, the aircraft was later selected for use by the Snowbirds, Canada's national aerobatic team. 22 Tutors continue to fly with the Canadian Forces with the Snowbirds and the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment.
