## Resource

As the Royal Canadian Air Force officially announces that the 2026 airshow season marks the final farewell for the iconic CT-114 Tutor. In this premier episode, Mr Maillet journeys back to Montreal in the late 1950s to uncover the high-stakes origins of a Canadian legend. Rising from the ashes of the devastating Avro Arrow cancellation, a small team of engineers at Canadair took a massive private gamble on a jet trainer that would go on to log over one million flight hours, shape the brilliant legacy of the 1967 Golden Centennaires, and train generations of military pilots at CFB Moose Jaw. From its elegant, spin-calibrated engineering to its profound impact on national pride, discover how a plane built purely on a company's own initiative became the enduring backbone of Canadian aviation.
