CLUNK

[Threadkiller]

hey guys

well ALPHA finnaly released their Canuck model as freeware, so i took these quick shots today...available here at home...get the "FS2004 CF-100 RCAF" a real treat .

the textures i used are by David King ( www.the-airfield.com) and were released about a year or so ago-i really cant remember-ive had them for a while waiting for Alpha to release the canuck it is a package containing about 6 or 7 re-worked textures that IMO look WAY better than the ALPHA ones

i added the jet flames, i used the ones from my Gloster Pioneer (along with the xml) and fixed the smoke  effects possition relative to the aircraft.

hope you like

please leave a comment

either way she's a little far from home dont you think? i've also seen pictures of a Canadian T-Bird flying in the UK

there is a Canuck in Hamilton Ontario near the Canadian Warplane Herritage Museum, she's on a pedestal and a little forgotten...

you're right, and contrary to what you might think-due to th'sleek' design:P-she broke speed and endurance records in her day...she also participated actively in the Avro Arrow program as testbed,pilot training platform and chase plane.

i think the Canuck is one of the prettiest fighter jets ever made

She was brought over to Duxford by the legendary RCAF pilot Ormond Haydon Baillie in the 70s. I think he had dreams of operating her one day alongside...

...the very T-bird you speak of! Unfortunately he was killed in a Mustang crash in 1977...

Interesting, ive always wondered how the Tbird got to the UK and if it was a Real Canadian T-Bird to begin with

i googled Mr.Baillie but not much info came up, just some pictures and stuff about when he died, why was he so legendary?
