This is my winter paint of an RCAF CF-100 Canuck, also known as The Clunk. The numbering is fictional, but I chose 416 to represent the 416 Squadron AWG (all weather group) who, in the Clunk's day, were based out of CFB St. Hubert, Quebec, which was just south-east of the city of Montreal. This is the same plane my Uncle flew during his time in the forces, one William Ferguson, or Fergie as they nic-named him. He passed in a plane crash while training other pilots in 1962, a year before I was born, and I never did get to meet him however I did a Google search, and lo & behold, there is a page dedicated to his squadron, and there were several photos of the squadron members including Uncle Bill. It was via the info on their website that I learned what he flew and when.
The guy behind this displayname is not a pilot but has flown small craft like Cessnas and Pipers and is truly addicted to being airborne...he's not sure if the stage or the pilot seat is more fun, so he'll try and keep getting to both.
