History of the Tutor T1

The Grob G 115, first flown in 1985 as an aerobatic sportplane, replaced the Scottish Aviation Bulldog in UAS and AEF service in 1998. Ninety-nine aircraft were purchased and operated by VT Aerospace, with military instructors and civilian contractors handling maintenance. The CFS received its first Tutors in 1999, and the Tutor, named after the 1930s' Avro Tutor, is still in use, although its Elementary Flying Training role is being taken over by the Grob Prefect.
