Default Remember the Arrow

I was just wondering if any pilots on this newsgroup ever saw in person or
remember Canadas Avro Arrow that was built in the late 50's. My father grew
up in the milton area and was getting or had his ppl at the time and he told
me few stories about the plane.

It seems a shame that this project was cancelled before it was really even
able to prove itself, and to have all prototypes destroyed. I would have
loved to have seen a truly Canadian designed and built Fighter/Interceptor
flying in our airspace and/or to be able to visit a canadian aviation museum
and see one.

I have heard that the arrow was so advanced for it's day that the F/A-18 is
the only modern jet fighter that is able to match many of the arrows
capabilities.
