Just saw the 'Snowbirds' air acrobatic team fly by my window in
formation. Thing of beauty! They must be practicing for the airshow
this weekend.

What kind of planes are those?

They are more than 30 years old. The jets are Canadair ( Bombardier ) CT
114 Tudor powered by Pratt & Whitney jet engines. They were the training
jets for the former Royal Canadian Air Force.

I believe they are called Tutor training planes. If the pilots keep
smashing them, they'll have to switch to our CF-14s
