If you like Canadair Tutors you'll love Hunting/BAC Jet Provosts. And so many display teams according to Mike Russell's excellent JetProvostHeaven site:
The Golden Centennaires were in operation during 1967 for Canada's Centennial celebrations. Several years later, the Team Lead was Base Commander at CFB Moose Jaw and managed to reform the team as part of the Flying School. That group then became the Snowbirds as 431 Air Demonstration Squadron.

Theo,
You're the best!
Duke, man, you got some pull.....that's it, I'm sending Theo some pics I took of the Blue Angels....
P.S. Golden Centennaires look awesome, do they still fly??
How about the Black Arrows or the Yellowjacks?

And the Blue Angels aren't too bad either.
Team 60 with Saab 105s from Sweden have a great paint job.
"old tanker"...they are now called the "Snowbirds". Check out the Golden Hawks (via Google or Wiki)...F86's
"anonymous",
Just saw the picture of the "Black Arrows" in a 22 Hawker Hunter a/c formation at Farnborough in 1958.....IMPRESSIVE!
"old tanker"....what do you think?
"One of the Golden Hawks' signature stunts was a low-level flyby of the crowd with their canopies open, waving at the spectators"
Awesome!!!
duke, still looking for the "black hawks"....

I saw them at Abbotsford '67.

The Golden Hawks flew Canadair Sabres from 1959 to 1964.
