Nemesis Tutors CT114? There should be enough to go around so no worries of you not getting any (if I understand you right). I really think that the Tutor would be another great airframe to be flying around. Having more then just the 4 that JAM is aiming for, flying around Ontario would be awesome!

oh nice. what exactly are your plans CT114? are you just trying to operate one privately or do have group that is trying to procure a couple Tutors with? It would be great to make sure we have good connections with you when we do get around to getting a our Tutors down the road.

David, I would like to get a cockpit section one day and complete it as much as I can. A complete airframe would be nice but any hopes of a complete one have been dashed through DND..

That'd be a sweet project. Then if you did have the ability to put it on a trailer you could put on a display at air shows and other events! I have to ask though why won't the DND let you get a full air frame?

Because the Tutors are spares recovered for the Snowbirds. I was sent pics of cockpits being cut up in bits...

Are there any plans to acquire additional aircraft over time? I know that there are a bunch of ex-RCAF / CAF aircraft at both Markham and Buttonville, but I am not sure the amount of time required to make them airworthy, and I would also suspect that the DoD has strict rules about how these could be operated. In the end, I just would like to see the CF-116 (CF-5) fly again. I remember seeing the 4-ship formations back at LIAS in the 1980s, and that was great.

Our vision as written by Bob Hewitt "FOUNDING VISION, TRULY A UNIQUE MUSEUM. A COLLECTION OF – NOT ONE – BUT
FOUR OR FIVE (A FLIGHT) OF EACH AIRCRAFT MAINTAINED AS FLYERS BY MEMBERS – LEARNING AND TRAINING DAILY AS THEY WORK TO PRESERVE AND DISPLAY THE JETS AND HERITAGE OF THE RCAF."

So to be clear the answer is yes to more aircraft then just our T-33's. My educated guess would be that we will have the details kinks and paper work all worked out on all 6 T-birds in the next 2 years. Some flying sooner then others. Once we are towards the tail end of the back end paper work and are able to support the T-bird operations different aircraft will be the next focus, if not sooner.
