12. They were going to replace them...

Now it appears they will modernize them with glass avionics, reinforce the wings, thus they can remain in service with the Snowbirds for another decade or more. Of note, it wasn't a correction, just thinking of my late Dad, a WWII RCAF pilot, who hated that the Canadian Government dropped the RCAF name and changed it to air arm, Canadian Forces. They returned to the former RCAF a few years ago.

Again, thank you for the great pics.
