The RCAF Hawks were only leased, and would not have been available for the Snow Birds. However unlike the US Navy variant the T-45 Goshawk, the BAe Hawk is still in production in the UK and if we weren’t so tight could be purchased for the Snow Birds.

I thought so too. We must have bought them out at 'carcass prices' since they (or some of them) are now cadavers for maintenance techs at CFB Borden.

A New Life for the CT-155 Hawk

The CT-155 Hawk, formerly the RCAF’s Fighter Lead-in advanced jet training aircraft, is finding new life at the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering, where a fleet of 15 aircraft will soon serve as new maintenance trainers for aircraft technicians-in-training.

Well done. They did a show in North Bay last week and I tried to get some decent pics with limited success. It was a 1800 show over the lake so we were all facing west. There were some fairly interesting clouds as backdrop but the sun simply overwhelmed the phone's camera. I should have taken my real camera.
