The Canadian Air Force Snowbirds fly over Great Falls, Mont., on Friday, June 1, 2007 after the pilots retrieved their jets Friday, which have been grounded since the fatal May 18, 2007 crash at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. The crash killed Snowbird pilot Capt. Shawn McCaughey. The CT-114 Tudor jets were cleared to leave after investigators from the Canadian Forces flight safety team returned to Ottawa last weekend. Their final report is expected to be complete within a year.

The Department of National Defence is actively considering whether to retire some older ships, planes and other items of equipment that have become too difficult and costly to maintain — including the aircraft belonging to the iconic Snowbird demonstration squadron.
