Video from the channel TJ Ingrassia about Canadair CT-114 Tutor, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 5:48. Language: English. Video type: Onboard.

Captain Maciej Hatta, Snowbird 3 (inner left wing) of the Snowbirds, the Canadian Armed Forces' aerial demonstration squadron, uses a 360-degree camera to tour the cockpit of his CT-114 Tutor during the 2016 Spirit of St. Louis Air Show.

He shows the two side-by-side seats with dual controls and the basic instrument T. He also points out the GPS and the electronic horizontal situation indicators installed recently. The smoke is triggered with the stick's trigger: it's diesel from two ventral tanks that is atomized in the exhaust. The five-point harness and the ejection seat are also visible. In displays they fly between +6 and −2 g, and the aircraft is rated for +7.33 to −3 g.

The aircraft he flies, number 051, was built in 1964. The Tutor served for nearly 40 years as a basic trainer at Moose Jaw, where the squadron has been based since 1971.
