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
No the smoked glass was not used at the time as far as I know.
