To War in a Starfighter DURING THE COLD WAR, CANADA STRUCK A THE CANADIAN CONNECTION DEAL WITH LOCKHEED TO BUILD THE F-104 During the late 1950s, with some pres- sure from the USA and the United STARFIGHTER UNDER LICENSE. THE CF-104 Kingdom, Canada modified its role within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization DIFFERED IN NUMEROUS WAY FROM THE (NATO). With the threat posed by the Soviet Union constantly increasing, Canada LOCKHEED PRODUCT. THE ROYAL CANADIAN committed to the nuclear strike role. The AIR FORCE PLACED NUCLEAR BOMB Canadair Sabre was then serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) but the CARRYING CF-104s IN GERMANY WITH THE aircraft was not capable of the new mission even though RCAF Sabre squadrons were a SHARP END POINTED AT THE WARSAW PACT strong presence within NATO. Accordingly, an international search began for a suitable BY E.A. SEITZ aircraft. All major aircraft builders were eager to have Canada as a customer and a Canadian panel considered the Blackburn Buccaneer, Dassault Mirage IIIC, Fiat G.91, Grumman F-111 Super Tiger, Lockheed F-104G Starfighter, Northrop N-156 Freedom Fighter, and the Republic F-105 Thunderchief. The RCAF contingent rea- soned that the Thunderchief, fitted with an Orenda Iroquois turbojet, would be the best aircraft for the mission. However, as in any bureaucracy, cost became a major concern and this factor was perhaps placed first over capability (in RCAF service, the F-105 would have been an absolutely fearsome weapon with much greater capabilities than the CF-104). To keep their aviation industry alive (which had been heavily damaged by the cancellation of the Avro CF-105 Arrow), the study committee favored the pro- posal put forth by Lockheed. Part of this favoritism was the fact that Best from Canada: CF-104 Lockheed had developed a relationship with leads a CF-100 Arrow, Silver Canadair in Montreal. Star, and a Sabre. On 14 August 1959, the government selected Canadair to build the Lockheed F-104G under license and Canadair rapidly initiated a manufacturing program to build the fighters. The company designation was CL-90 while the RCAF initially designated their new aircraft as CF-111 but this was quickly changed to CF-104. Although basi- cally similar to the F-104G, the Canadians modified the design for the nuclear strike/reconnaissance mission. The new aircraft was to be fitted with R-23A NASARR radar equipment dedicated to the air-to-ground mode. The CF-104 would also have provision for a ventral reconnaissance pod equipped with four Vinten cameras.

  • CASM-Canadair-CL-13B-Sabre-F-86
    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT CANADAIR CL-13B / F-86 SABRE MK 6 RCAF GOLDEN HAWKS SERIAL 23651 Introduction In August 1949, Canadair Limited, located at the Cartierville Airport facilities near Montreal, and the Department of National Defence (DND) signed a contract for the manufacture under license of 100 of the most advanced swept-wing day fighter aircraft of the time, the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre. Assigned the Canadair model number CL-13, this order led to the largest aircraft production run in Canadair’s history. From 1949 to October 1958, Canadair Limited went on to produce some 1,815 examples of the famed fighter, in models ranging from the Sabre Mark (Mk) 1 up to the ultimate Sabre Mk 6 series, with a few special experimental models emanating from the production batches. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the prime customer for the majority of these aircraft, but the power and reputation of the Canadian-built examples had other nations sit up and take notice, eventually culminating in numerous orders to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-NATO countries. Canadair delivered versions of the CL-13 Sabre to the United States, Britain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany, Columbia, and South Africa. RCAF variants served domestically training pilots and crews, and performed an important role in the Canadian commitment to provide a European air contingent for NATO operations. Some of the Canadian-based RCAF units wished to proudly show off their shiny new jet mounts to the general public, seeing as they were paying for them in one way or another, and permission was eventually granted for limited public expositions.

    The Comox Air Force Museum’s Guide to the Aircraft of the Heritage Air Park By Dan Brennan *All photographs found in this guide are subject to copyright and cannot be reused without the express written permission of the owner. Canadair CL-28 Argus Mark I Argus 10719 of 415 Squadron on maritime patrol. From Greek mythology, the “Argus” was an all-seeing creature with 100 eyes. This name was appropriate due to the numerous highly sophisticated sensing devices carried on board, with antennas everywhere. Note the large nose radome of the Mark I. Protruding from the tail is the MAD Boom, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector which detects the magnetic field surrounding a steel submarine. The Canadian-built, Canadair Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the British designed Bristol Britannia transport aircraft, married to a completely new unpressurized fuselage of Canadian design and equipped with different American-designed engines. One of the most effective anti-submarine warfare aircraft of its day, the Argus was a mainstay for the RCAF in the maritime role. The principal difference between the Mark I and Mark II was primarily in the different navigation, communication and tactical electronic equipment fitted internally. Externally, the Mark II exhibited a redesigned smaller nose radome and additional ECM antennae above the fuselage. The Argus replaced the Lancaster and Neptune aircraft types and eventually, the Argus was itself to be replaced by the current Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Argus flew with the Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit and the following Squadrons: 404, 405, 407, 415, and 449.
