What a fighter!! Part1

[EricK]

Hi there,
Well, I finally folded and bought a payware model. I couldn't resist this one. I just looked so good. Now that I have it, I must say it is 'good'

I split the shots into 2 parts. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks

Does it include the CAF checkerboard paint scheme?

I saw natural metal, OD Green, 421 Sqdn "Cokebottle" and 439 Sqdn Tiger...but no checkerboard.

Kinda interested in that...the checkerboard was flown by 441 (Silver Fox) Sqdn.

Very Nice shots....Liked the third one the best .

I also think you will find that 424 Tiger Squadron is now a Search and Rescue Squadron flying Hercs, Labs and the new Comorant.
That is the CF104 that is in your first pic.

At least it was when I was there yesterday.

Cheers....Happy Landings....Doug

424 (Tiger) is not the unit that flew the 104... that was 439 (Sabre Toothed Tiger).

The Sqdn History can be seen here: http://www.airforce.forces.ca/hist/439sqn_e.htm

Thanks for the correction SilverFox.
I should have looked closer at the Tiger Crest on the nose of the aircraft.
I usually talk with the lads from 424 on a weekly basis.
Will put the two Crests to-gether when I get over to the Museum to see the differences.

Cheers....Happy Landings...Doug
