A Canadian T-6? What's that? :-)

The aircraft at Moose Jaw are still indeed using the VIKING callsign. I 
hear them here regularly. I think it's the Flight Instructors School, but 
Moose Jaw nonetheless. I haven't been able to confirm which aircraft type 
uses the VIKING callsign, but it is not the CT-114 Tutor (only the 
Snowbirds still fly those planes). The aircraft type is either the CT-155 
Hawk (turbojet trainer) or the CT-156 Harvard II (turboprop trainer). 

I'm quite certain it was one of the Moose Jaw aircraft, and he shortened 
the CT-156 to "T-6", but I've never heard the T-6 designation. In fact, 
around here, they're only referred to by name "Hawk" and "Harvard".
