Moose Jaw Mayor on the end of the Snowbirds era

Loading player...
The Snowbirds, as Canada has known them, are coming to an end. The federal government is calling this a modernization plan for the Snowbirds, but it also marks the end of an era as the iconic CT-114 Tutors prepare for their final seasons in the sky.
