The Yale is a member of the same family of trainer aircraft as the T-6 Texan and it bears a very close resemblance to the Texan. The most obvious difference is the fixed landing gear on the Yale compared to the retractable gear on the Texan. The 119 Yale aircraft used by the Royal Canadian Air Force were built for export to France but were diverted to Canada after France fell to Germany in 1940. The Yale closely resembles the U.S. Army Air Forces’ BT-14 however they are not identical. The Yale served in Canada until late 1946 when they were all retired.

in special NORAD-colours
The RCAF selects a theme for each year for its CF-18 air demonstration team. 2018 features the 60th Anniversary of NORAD.
NORAD is a combined, bi-national military command established by an agreement in 1958 between Canada and the United States to monitor and defend North America. NORAD is supported in Canada by the Canadian NORAD Region (CANR), headquartered in Winnipeg, Man., and the Canadian Air Defence Sector (CADS) at 22 Wing North Bay, Ontario. CANR maintains CF-18 aircraft on standby at 3 Wing and 4 Wing along with CC-130T Hercules air-to-air refuellers operating from Winnipeg, in support of the NORAD mission.
