Description

From the museum website:

Canadair CT-114 Tutor

Tutor #177 at the 2006 Rocky Mountain House Airshow. The Canadair CT-114 Tutor is a Canadian-built jet trainer that was used by Canada’s air force to train pilots from 1963 until 2000 when it was replaced by the CT-156 Harvard II and the CT-155 Hawk. The Tutor continues to be flown by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.

The museum’s aircraft (#114177) arrived by truck in Nanton on September 12, 2005 from CFB Mountainview. It was disassembled and prepared for its journey by museum members Peter and Paul Whitfield and volunteers Mike Berry and Brad Fraser.

After a brief stop in Nanton, Tutor #177 was on its way to Rocky Mountain House where, over the winter of 2005-2006, it was restored and painted by volunteer Maurice Galli in preparation for its appearance at the 2006 Rocky Mountain House Air Show and the official transfer of the aircraft from No. 431 Squadron (The Snowbirds) to the museum. Maurice painted it as Snowbird #4 (the “First Line Astern” position) that it flew as for five seasons and the position that was flown by Major Dan Robinson when he was with the team in 1996 and 1997. Major Robinson was raised in Nanton and his grandfather was one of the group of three responsible for bringing Lancaster FM-159 to Nanton in 1960.

Tutor #177 was then trucked to Nanton and officially placed on display as part of the museum’s 2006 Twentieth Anniversary Celebrations.
