I think they had one of these at this years air show piloted by a local from Brookfield I believe. Very impressive jet used as a trainer in Canadian Forces. Bill, correct me if I'm wrong..

If it was one of "ours"...it was the Harvard 2 which looks similar up front...but different at the rear...plus it was a turboprop..!

Was that a correction..?

We do use the 'T45' in the same colours as the Harvard 2 above. We call it the CT-155 Hawk (the BAE Hawk is the same plane).

Not sure who was flying it but my recollection is that plane was the "opening" act. I use quotes because it almost seemed like he just happened to be flying over the airport by accident -- 3-4 low speed passes, about 400 feet off the deck, and no high-g maneuvering, rolls, or anything. Time can play tricks on the mind, so it might have been better than I recall, but it wasn't as impressive as my BAE Hawk flights in Phoenix... although, to be fair, I must admit that many of those end up in a tumbling cloud of parts. :lol:

It either looked like or was the one from Marc's photo.

The one at Target is a little bigger than the micros and a little smaller than the e-flite Hawk & PZ HABU. It has a lot better looking finish than the micro and I like the paint scheme better than the e-flite Hawk. I think it would be better than the micro-edf stuff in the RCG threads, which is also available at HK, perhaps not as nice as the e-flite.
