The following text is from Aviation Week:
03/02/1964. Golden Hawks, RCAF jet aerobatic team, is being disbanded for economy reasons. Paul Hellyer, Canada's minister of national defense, said the $750,000 required each year to operate the team's North American Sabres is needed for other purposes. The team had performed about 250 times in Canada and the USA since its first public demonstration in 1959.
