Is what it is not, because the Snowbirds have a T-tail.

Was gonna say a Strikemaster. Used to get buzzed by them at one of fishing spots when I was a kid (they used a lake for low level practice runs).

It is absolutely a Jet Provost - not a Strikemaster or a Tutor.   Actually, according to unverified internet sources, that one is located at Rifle Airport in Aspen, CO and maintained as part of a private collection. :aok
