"Cub Driver"
Okay, the first puce aircraft to break the sound barrier?

Might not have been the slickest aircraft ever built but it served well
looking after your northern flank with NORAD for several years. Also NATO
pleaded with Canada to send some to Europe as they did not have an effective
night fighter at the time. The sound barrier trick was not recommended and
was not possible with the MK5 CF-100. Wing tip extensions were added to
achieve a higher intercept ceiling extending the life for a few more years.
Incidentally, the CF100 was considered for service with the USAF but the
Canberra was bought instead because it was equipped to carry a bomb load.
The CF100 was not. The MK4 used two wing tip rocket pods with 29 rockets
per pod along with 8 - 50 cal machine guns in a belly gun bay. There was
also a belly rocket bay that did not work very well. The guns were removed
in the MK5 version that was used with NORAD. Great place to carry lobsters
from the east coast to various west coast mess functions. ;-) Don't tell the
wheels this was done, ha! ha!
