Is that CF-100 on a stick the real 100784? Looks like the special
paint they had her in for the retirement, when I saw her at Abbotsford
in 1981.

Golly, that was a while ago...

Hi Bob. I believe it is the real 100784. All of the aircraft on display are
as original and authentic as they were when they were flying.

This may seem like a stupid question....but since I'm unfamiliar with the
type and it was way before my time... maybe someone can answer this. The
Sabre they have on display appears to have a smoked glass canopy. Is this
representative of the type? Is this something unique to the Canadian
version? Pictures I've seen of this aircraft show a regular transparent
canopy.

Take care,

Nick
