Starfighers in Canada?

[Andrew Semon]

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.

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.
