The CT-114 Tutor is older than the Red'sHawk T1s, but not by a lot! Criss-crossing Canada probably adds up airframe hours a bit quicker than the UK though.

Yeah, the Tutor’s ancient. Cross-Canada hauls definitely eat up hours faster than zipping around the UK.

Well, coincidentally, the Reds have just announced they'll be flying with only seven aircraft for most displays now to preserve the fleet until they can be replaced in 2030.

The Hawk T1's will be retired at the end of the 2029 season.

Whether the Reds will be flying something else in 2030 or not flying at all is still not known.

Sent you a PM a couple of weeks ago. Please could you check your emails (including your spam folder ?)

Got it, and replied the same day, did you not get it?

Hi. No. But it appears I may have an issue with my email.
If I may, I'll PM you again with an alternative email address ?
