A fleet of 19 CT-153 Junos will replace both the CH-139 and CT-146 helicopters at 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School, Southport, Manitoba, under the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program.
The CT-153 Juno will serve as the Advanced Flying Training – Rotary Wing aircraft. It is a sophisticated and capable twin-engine helicopter, suitable for training both new and advanced student pilots.
