Quite frankly, I find the Snowbirds a little embarrassing, I mean those planes are ancient. How about this for an idea? We pick the best of the CF-18’s and give them to the Snowbirds. Then we buy new Super Hornets for the folks at Bagotville and Cold Lake. Forget the F-35 Edsel.
Yes, those tutors are old.
That’s not a half bad idea. The F-35 is a joke. The conversion course from the 18 to the super 18 would be fr cheaper than a course for an entirely different airframe. Would be a win win for taxpayers.
