Tail number 704. This fourth Canadair built Starfighter was the second with it's initial flight at the factory in Montreal on August 14, 1961. Damaged on delivery to Cold Lake in January 1962, the aircraft was inserted back in the production line for repairs. Serving with Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment and No. 448 (Test) Squadron at RCAF Station Cold Lake, AB, it was retired as an instructional airframe at CFB Suffield, AB serialed 820C. Moved from storage at CFB Bagotville, QC to Montreal Aviation Museum on November 10, 2020 where it is now being restored.

(I found this info on the interweb).

Hopefully for the pilots, this falls into the "any landing you can walk away from is a good one" category.

Meh. Who hasn't landed and then have the tail ripped off.

Meh. Who hasn't landed and then have the tail ripped off.

And then blamed the engineers....

And then blamed the engineers....

Well it’s never the pilot’s fault. If you want to know how good pilot’s are, just ask one.

The noise levels would be unbelievable, and once you've pulled the chocks...which way do you run!
