He flew the T-33 Silver Star as an Instructor Pilot and as a Tactical Fighter Pilot and Instructor on the CF-104 Starfighter and CF-18 Hornet.

In thirty years in the Air Force, Laurie rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and he served an additional five years as Honourary Colonel of 417 Combat Support Squadron.
