to everyone out there that will not be the last flight of the cf-100, i am currently trying to get a cf-100 from a museum i work at into fling condition again. just for all you aviation people out there

[@RC_1140]

Awesome!

[@blackfire3744]

It'll be hard to get one flying again as I heard they cut the bolts that would prevent them from flying, effectively clipping thier wings. But, if you do get one flying again I would tip my hat to you sir. You would have my eternal gratitude.

[@sinclepforever5469]

@@blackfire3744 well get that hat ready because i dont care about what anyone says (not even my future wife/girlfriend) i will get a cf-100 flying even if i have to spend all my money on it. but yea i have a goal and it will happen so i will do it. also thanks mate

[@ggallin713]

Best luck to you, I find these craft a important part of canadian identity. We are not a post national country like Trudeau would have people believe and the Cf 100 along with our contributions globally to world peace are something unique to Canada and a source of national pride

@@ggallin713 thx mate and ill make sure my team gets it done for sure.

my dad flew her too in the Belgian Air Force, was a great plane

[@dongreff7002]

That was My Dad Captain George Greff . ... We were in 2 - Wing , Metz and later in 3- Wing ...

[@ianbell8701]

Don I flew and worked with your father at P&WC. Wonderful man.

[@The_ZeroLine]

Was he ever concerned about its ejection seat, which would sometimes randomly eject the pilot uncommanded or had that been fixed?

[@jonathan_careless]

I built a model CF-100 once! Great plane.

[@johnhanson6002]

I have one.

[@walkergarya]

This may not be the last Cf-100 to fly, there is a team that is restoring one to flight status.

Thanks for sharing

[@andrewpridham8420]

I refuelled a CF-100 in CFB North Bay in the late 1970's. I believe that 414 Squadron flew the last CF-100 and CF-101 (EF-101B).

[@StephaneDemers]

You are correct. That black CF-100 flew several years after this "last" flight.

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Damn, should have been the Arrow

[@edwardbreadman9473]

Just saw one at the Canadian Warplane Museum in Hamilton. Do not know if it is cĺose to flying or if it can ever fly again.

[@The_ZeroLine]

Imagine if they just suddenly decided to shower Montreal with rockets on its last flight just for kicks and to say it had flown a combat mission.

[@jordach545]

I have seen the one on a pedestal in Dundas (just outside of Hamilton), it was too cool.

[@jordach545]

Sorry, my mistake, it was the similar T-33

[@LeeC58]

There is one on a just Northeast of the Toronto airport on Derry road before goreway

[@adrenalinowner7992]

Funny how this plane is on #PlaneSavers with #MikeyMcBryan

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

not the one flying but the one in the background of 0:47

I was born in the wrong time 😢 60 years late

Superior to the F-89.
