From the editor

2024 also marked the end of service of the RCAF CT-155 Hawk advanced trainer. The surplus jets were flown to Collingwood, Ontario then towed in several convoys - 46 kilometers (29 miles) to the air force technical training school at CFB Borden. The hulls will become instructional trainers.
