One more flyover is scheduled in Calgary on Nov 15, before the Tutors are sent to the base in Trenton, Ontario, for disposal.

It's like saying goodbye to a good friend.

What's next

The Tutors will be replaced by the Swiss-made PC-21 Pilatus, known as the CT-157 Siskin II. The team goes on a hiatus that could last until the early 2030s, with no set timeline.
