On our trip west a couple of years ago, we passed through Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan. I've always been interested in aircraft and had to drive by Canadian Forces 15 Wing, which I knew is the home base for the Snowbirds aerobatic team. We did a brief stop at the Canex base store and my wife, being a former army brat, struck up a conversation with a guy in a red jumpsuit. It turned out that he was a Snowbird pilot and said most of the team was away at a performance elsewhere.
Disappointed, on our way out of the base, I thought I was seeing double when I spotted these two aircraft, pulled the car over, and took a shot through an opening in the fence. It's cropped down to about a quarter of the original image to get the fence out of the frame.
The CT-114 Tutor is an aging aircraft from the 60's. The near version with tail number 114013 dates back to 1964 and has been used as a spare, active performer, and a trainer. In 2006 it suffered an engine flameout during practice formation flying and had to land at an alternate airfield. In 2008 it was damaged by multiple bird strikes. The most recent status that I could find was as Snowbird #4 in 2019. It will be interesting to see what they will eventually be replaced with.
I couldn't quite get into editing mode with all the images I have to do...so I back tracked to see what I was doing September of last year. I was at the airshow! The snowbirds are my favourite in the show.

In Canada mostly the acronym MP refers to Member of Parliament, but, like it does for our neighbours to the south primarily, secondarily refers to these law enforcers, the Military Police, seen here on a rare trip through Victoria, presumably going to or from CFB Esquimalt.
