Default Famous Polish/Canadian Test Pilot dies!

It is sad to report that famous Polish/Canadian CF-105 Arrow test pilot
has died as reported on this evenings CTV News. Jan flew with the RAF
during WWII emigrating to Canada after the war. He became AVRO Canada's
chief test pilot. First on the CF-100 where he was credited with a first,
breaking the sound barrier in a strait winged "jet" aircraft. He was chief
test pilot on the sadly cancelled CF-105 Arrow project.
