| Craig Reich , AB | Difficult to fly a Canuck with only a pilot. All the circuit breakers which made things work were right in front of my right hand, IN THE BACK SEAT, were us navigators used to keep the driver going in the right direction. generic viagra zoloft propecia buy viagra Get your facts straight.

| Anthony , NS | Hi, I read somewhere the CF-100 had provisions for 4 hardpoints to carry 4000 lb's worth of bombs, could anyone in the know say whether bombing practice was done with the CF-100 on a regular basis? 01/25/2008 @ 12:52 [ref: 19427] |
| Daniel C Farrell Ottawa, ON | I note that in the "Performance" data you list the cruise speed of the CF-100 as 410 Knots. We almost always cruised at 420 Knots and that is the figure we used for navigation. 420 Knots is 7 nautical miles per minute and makes for easy mental DR. 08/29/2007 @ 08:33 [ref: 17786] |
| Jim M Trenton, ON | There are 3 CF-100s around here in Trenton that I can think of. One at the RCAF Museum, one at the cadet camp on base and one in Campbellford north of here. The latter is one of the original airframes. 06/12/2006 @ 18:19 [ref: 13509] |
| James , AB | I agree with Mr. Lovegrove and Mr. Stewart. As mentioned by them, the CF-100 was indeed a two seat all weather fighter, requiring two crew members... PILOT AND NAVIGATOR! Apparently your 'webmaster' just so happened to neglect mention of this very important fact on your website information page, of this most important indigenous Canadian aircraft. Out of respect for the very many people who designed, built and flew this aircraft type and the role in which it played in this country, you people do need to make all the necessary corrections and update your website to reflect this. It may seem a small thing to let a mistake like this appear, however, the director's page boasts about this facility being a 'world class' museum. Certainly details are a very important part of being a world class museum. 04/09/2006 @ 05:38 [ref: 13091] |

| Philip Merced, CA | I need pictures of a Mk 5 cocpit. These pictures are needed for some restoration work on the interior of an CF-100.
