Has anyone ever heard about Four Canadair CF104 Starfighter aircraft available for sale. Located in Brampton, ON Canada?

The only one in the country right now is an ex-Norway (and ex-CAF) CF-104 stored in CFB Bagotville. The other three are also ex-Norway I believe, but have yet to make it to Canada. The Bagotville bird was mooted to be part of a deal that would have resulted from the sale of Mosquito RS700. The Calgary Museum was planning to use funds from the sale of the Mosi to buy the CF-104. Since there is some question as to if the Mosi is now going to be sold, I assume that they may not buy the CF-104.

I know there are several 104 fuselages at Markham airport belonging to Al Rubin. Mike H visited there recently.

Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the fuselage sections, only the intact example...

There are other static display examples around the province, but I think that is getting a little off topic here. I think the idea is to locate the potential fliers.

Do you want to find locations of displayed, stored or active aircraft? Then start with the The Locator.
Do you want to find or contribute to the documented history of an aircraft? If so then start with the Airframes Database.

The are a part of the "Canadian Air Land and Sea Museum" but the man behind it all is Al Rubbin. I don't know much about him, but from what I understand he is a collector of sorts.
