"Darrell A. Larose" A.V. Roe Canada CF-105 Avro Arrow, a long range interceptor that only had a 700 nm range. The is bearly enough to fly from CFB Cold Lake to Whitehorse, Yukon. The concept as a interceptor that would meet a wave of Soviet bombers over the high Arctic, but didn't have the legs to get there! The replacement was the IM99B Bomarc SAM complete with nuclear warhead. Range of that was in the 200-400 miles bracket, a great place to have a nuclear weapon go off and scatter radiation over Canadian cities and towns. I guess the yanks didn't consider that when they gave them to us! Good thing they were never used, eh! Only good thing about the Bomarc was to be assigned to the debriefing, parking and turn around crews. ;-) The Arrow's replacement was the CF-101 Voodoo, complete with nuclear tipped Genie missles. |
