Récit des FAC | De copilote de Cessna 172 aux côtés de papa à pilote de Snowbird CT-114 Tutor
Video from the channel Forces armées canadiennes about Canadair CT-114 Tutor, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 3:21. Language: French. Video type: Documentary.
Captain Sarah Dallaire, pilot number 2 of the Canadian Armed Forces' Snowbirds demonstration team, tells her story. She is the daughter of two pilots and recalls flying at age five, sitting to her father's right and holding the controls.
She joined the Cadets at 12, applied to join the Forces at 16 and enlisted at 17. She has practiced motocross since she was 14 and believes the sport gave her mental preparation and a way of managing risk.
Her best moment was being selected for the number two position, after two intense weeks of flights. She was welcomed by Maryse Carmichael, the first woman pilot with the Snowbirds, who had inspired her since childhood.
