Tutor 26015 was leased back from the Air Force by Canadair several times. First in the 60s to develop a wing with pylons for the armed CL-41G. Pictured during the second time the aircraft was leased to participate in the London to Victoria Air Race celebrating the Province of British Columbia's 100th anniversary (note the F-86 Sabre tanks to extend the Tutor's range). As a military aircraft, it was an unofficial entry and it's race ended in Kenora, ON when a rag was sucked into the running engine during a fuel stop.
