Canadian Forces Base Chatham had a CF-101 Squadron and they have a plane on display, I am not sure if it is in better shape then this one. 1962-1984 No. 416 Squadron RCAF
034 is one of the best preserved ones in Winnipeg. Unfortunately it's been parked outside on display now for a few years and will likely look like this one soon. The museum just got a Buffalo also but it sits outside to. I did see 028 in person a few years ago, it's to bad it wasn't enclosed years ago.
For a good portion of its life the CF 100 was still around it was used as an Electronic Warfare (EW) aircraft to provide electronic countermeasures training to NORAD units in Canada and the U.S. The CF-100 was retired from service in 1981, having served Canada and the RCAF for 31 years.
I hope one is restored and flying, or plans are afoot for the restoration of one ? What a joy to see one in full livery flying past, with reheat. (After burner) I don't know how strong the US influence on terminology is. 😊
me wife father and my father work on them. Father-in-law was air frame tech, and mine was radar. they help bring it to Hillsborough. the Missile are missing that my father got. Sad to see it look like that.
The first batch of CF-101 wore natural metal finish like the CF 100, the second batch were delivered in silver paint finish with the new Canada Armed Forces markings. Later, all aircraft were painted voodoo grey.
That's a beautiful design. I'm sure it would fly right, according to the old pilot's adage "if it looks good it'll fly good". I wonder how well it would do with modern avionics and more powerful, modern engines.
I hope someone eventually restores an airworthy voodoo, its such a wonderful looking plane and wears any paint scheme so well

They could fly it well! Now take care of your Mount Boys

A commendable service life for this old, but steady bird.

Big beast of an airplane! Gonna make it gleam like the CF100? Nice snow plow.
