It is a uniquely Canadian aircraft. Small correction: the Belgian Air Force also flew the Canuck Mk V, albeit for only a few years. 54 were bought, 53 delivered: one got fubar prior to delivery. They were in service from 1957 to 1964, being replaced by the F-104G. Supposed to be an all weather fighter, the Canuck was operationally worthless even as a day-fighter, because it had only free flying air-to-air rockets as armament, not even a gun! Not a single one escaped the scrappers blowtorch. The Brussels Air Museum had to get a Canadian one to put on display... Cheers, Steven

What I meant was that it was a uniquely Canadian designed and built aircraft. Take care, Nick
