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.

Canada rules - well at least up here in the North.

What?

Ok up here in the north part of North American.

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 . 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!
