Golden Centennaires

The Golden Centennaires were a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) aerobatic flying team that performed in 1967 to celebrate the Canadian Centennial.

B. Philp C.M., DFC, CD, featured six-plane formations alternating with two solo aircraft.

The aircraft flown was the CT-114 Tutor, which sported a blue and gold paint scheme.

[2][3] The team was disbanded after the last show of the season, but the aircraft were used a few years later to form the Snowbirds, Canada's current national team.

Accompanying the Golden Centennaires were an Avro 504, a CF-104 Starfighter and a CF-101 Voodoo.
