Canada’s Snowbirds to stand down after 2026 airshows; CT-114 Tutor replaced by PC-21-derived CT-157 Siskin II in early 2030s

Canada will retire the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds’ CT-114 Tutor jets after the 2026 airshow season, pausing team flying until the arrival of CT-157 Siskin II turboprops in the early 2030s. The new aircraft is based on the Pilatus PC-21, selected to address aging airworthiness and rising sustainment costs.
