Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck Jet Fighter Plane

John Frost designed the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck to meet a 1949 Royal Canadian Air Force specification for a new all-weather jet interceptor. The prototype CF-100 Canuck first flew in January 1950 and entered service with the RCAF in 1952. The Canuck proved to be a very good aircraft and remained operational with the RCAF until 1981. A total of 692 Canucks were produced, 53 of which were Mk 5s operated by the Belgian Air Force from 1957 to 1964, the remainder were used by the RCAF where it soon gained the nickname of the "Clunk" with it's aircrew.
