Some Canadian Aircraft Pics

Post by Menace » Tue May 23, 2006 5:32 pm

The starfighter CF100, Tracker and Avenger were scaned from a collection of a friend of the family. the FW 190 was the personal ride of a Canadian ace who's name euldes me.

Just posting them somewhere just so they don't get lost for posterity. Thought the fellow Canucks might get a charge of the FW though. ;)

BTW that Avenger is disfigured by Magnetic Andomality Detection Gear, for those that were wondering. The old feller that I scanned those pictures for was a crewman on a Tracker. I'd like to hear what one sounded like, it had 2 clynder engines, must have been pretty distinct.

The "CF100" may have been the Canadian designation, but it was built by North American and known in the USA as the T-33. It was a trainer version of the P-80 Shooting Star.

The "Tracker was built by Grumman and had two single-row 9-cylinder radials. I believe they were Pratt & Whitney, but unsure of the model.

Thanks Helo, I can't remember where the heck I got that :roll:. Must have been that Iguana I was chatting with a couple of years back after a quart of tequila. Or was it Mescal?

Us Canucks were still flying those CF100's through the eighties!
