“Having flown more than 2,500 hours on the CT-114 Tutor, I can say it has been an outstanding aircraft for the RCAF and for the Snowbirds.
The Tutor has served Canada for 66 years, and the team has flown it for more than five decades.
I recently had the opportunity to fly the Pilatus PC-21 in Switzerland, and I came away extremely impressed. This is not a downgrade from a jet to a turboprop; frankly, that argument misses the point entirely.”

La princesa Leonor de España!
She received a medal from her father, King Felipe VI, upon completion of her 3 years of training in the Spanish Air Force. She recently completed her certificate on the Pilatus PC-21, the same planes Canada will be acquiring soon as their advanced trainers and new planes for the Snowbirds.
