Well timed. This simply has to be an April Fools joke, but isn't?

Reminds me of the little-known and long-forgottent Victory Aircraft B-17M Fortcaster..

Thanks for the article, Dave.

It's heartbreaking to see that photo of the Arrows being broken up.

I really feel for all the people that had a hand in the creation of the CF-105.

oh my god the americans are going to believe this! you have way too much time on your hands nice job though. deifenbacker is still a douche bag for setting back 30 yrs the canadian aviation industry all in the name of politics. im sure the american radar operators at the niagara falls air force base were sugar theyre collective pants when they saw it coming at them across lake ontario at well over the speed of sound!!!!best buzz job ever!!!!

That one's not bad. I still like this one though for believability -

Obviously, too many folks didn't click the link to help save the "Strat" at the bottom of the article. It leads here

What a great joke! Randy

I'm gonna have to make a pilgramage out to the Praries and get my picture taken in front of that perogi!

I'd like to know the fate of the CF-121F evaluated at Edwards..perhaps the NMUSAF has it in deep storage somewhere......

Somebody needs to get a better pic of the gate guard for the registry. If VWoC gets ahold of it, do they plan to restore it to flying condition since MiG-21 parts are now easily accessible? I'll gladly fund the restoration, as soon as that nice Nigerian prince wires me the ten million he promised..I sent him 500 bucks and my bank account number..so I should be getting the money any day now.
