Avro CF-105 Arrow

[daylightla]

The CF-105 was a delta winged fighter designed to intercept the Soviet bombers as they crossed the North Pole.  An interesting note would be that there was no prototypes built.  It was a very interesting fighter from the RCAF.  Six were built, but were never put into active service.

well if you want something bad enough I guess you have to decide how bad you really want it

I'm an Arrow nut and I've been wanting one for FS2002 for a while. Didn't see an arrow at that site, had a vulcan though.

Orenda635, where did you get the Arrow? I think that that's what that top plane in your signature is.   Thanks.

Actually it was a private venture with government funding and had nothing to do with the RCAF just yet,  although they did have a test pilot involved in the program..........also, there were only 5 finished and flying by Black Friday, RL-201,202,203,204,205......RL-205 put in just one 40 min flight   prior to being torched like the rest......there were others in various states of completion on the production line and they all met with the axe .......          
I, and many others who saw this plane fly, are still crying !
One more note of interest on this bird is that it never flew with its intended Orenda Iroquois engine.....RL-206 was so close to flying that I can still smell it.......DAMN !

Reminds me the fate of another plane
