Sorry for the delay my friend. Been pretty busy as of late and just found this thread. Paul has Canadair Mk VI. Orenda 10 engine. Was RAAF, SAAF, then flew military contract work with Corporate Jets. More to follow.

That's a pretty airplane!
I love civilian warbirds.

Not ex-RAAF, but produced from new by Canadair for a SAAF order (as sn 381). First flight 17May56, and by sea to SA. Then served with 1 Sqn & 2 Sqn until retired to Snake Valley for the SAAF Museum. It was sold Corporate Jet, Scottsdale AZ Dec87 and registered as N50CJ (10Nov87?). By sea to Sardinia, Italy in May88, still in SAAF colours. Repainted in blue/white CJ colours and used on target towing duties for NATO from Decimomannu. To USA by sea .92, sold to Ricky Melton, Luttrell TN by .03 and based at Tennessee Museum of Aviation, Gatlinburg.

Circa winter 91/92 there was a proposal to house this and N30CJ with Jet Heritage at Bournemouth UK (JH were looking after F-86A G-SABR at this time), but it didn't come off in the end.

I sure wish I knew of this jet when I was in OK in 2012 and it's highly unlikely I'll be back in the area for any reason.
Thanks for the info, I'll pass this along to dad tonight.

Chris Brame and p51-
The F-86D in Tulsa is still there. It's on the north side of Tulsa International Airport, doing gate guard duty in front of the OK ANG base. There is also an F-100, an A-7 and an F-15 there, all mounted on poles. They represent most of the fighter aircraft operated by the OK ANG over the last 60 years or so. They also flew F-51s and P-80s, I think. Every few years the ANG folks go slap a new coat of paint on them, so they do get some care. Their display area is nicely fenced with an iron fence, and the entire display is visible from 36th Street North, the road that runs along the north side of the airport near Mohawk Park and the zoo. You can see it and photograph it easily from the road.
