And more.... - CF-100_414Sq_100784_YXX_8-81_4.jpg
"Bob" wrote in message ... Is that CF-100 on a stick the real 100784? Looks like the special paint they had her in for the retirement, when I saw her at Abbotsford in 1981. Golly, that was a while ago... Bob ^,,^ Hi Bob. I believe it is the real 100784. All of the aircraft on display are as original and authentic as they were when they were flying. This may seem like a stupid question....but since I'm unfamiliar with the type and it was way before my time... maybe someone can answer this. The Sabre they have on display appears to have a smoked glass canopy. Is this representative of the type? Is this something unique to the Canadian version? Pictures I've seen of this aircraft show a regular transparent canopy. Take care, Nick

I wonder why it is that this particular bird has this sort of canopy and what the story is behind it. Perhaps someone on here knows.... Take care, Nick
